Спереводом текста за 30 most of the western nations have the same basic environmental problems, but they take different forms in each country. here you can read about some of the dangers facing britain’s environment. one of the britain’s environmental successes has been the control of air pollution, especially in london. sixty years ago hundreds of people died every year from the dreadful london smogs. since then london and many other cities have become smokeless zones, areas where no coal fires are allowed. however, the commonest air pollution comes from the cigarette smoke which pollutes many public places, like cinemas, pubs and restaurants. though cigarette advertisements are not allowed on tv or radio, you can still see them on posters in cinemas and in newspapers and magazines. traffic and aircraft can cause serious noise pollution. aircrafts are very noisy when they take off and the noise spreads over a wide area. there has been bad pollution of britain’s rivers, and the government has tried hard to stop it. there are now strict laws against water pollution, though it still happens incidentally. the need for new roads causes great environmental difficulties. they often spoil the countryside and bring noise and pollution to thousands of homes. cars cause other problems too: thousands of people die in car accidents, car parks use valuable spaces in towns and cities, cars use a lot of our limited amount of oil. unfortunately, it’s difficult to do anything about all this because cars play an important part in the lives of many families, and the car industry employs large numbers of people.
