Industrial air pollution includes the so-called “greenhouse gases”, LIKE/SUCH AS CARBON DIOXIDE and CFCs …. BESIDES/IN ADDITION TO THESE GASES, we must not forget sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, WHICH RESULT IN/GIVE RISE TO ACID RAIN. The largest single cause of industrial air pollution is the electricity industry, AS/SINCE ALL FOSSIL FUELS PRODUCE, AT LEAST, CARBON DIOXIDE. NEW TECHNOLOGIES ARE BEING APPLIED in a few places in order to minimize the effect of dangerous gas emissions, but these technologies are still very expensive and WOULD MAKE/CAUSE THE PRICE OF ELECTRICITY Ø/TO RISE/INCREASE.

IT DEPENDS ON THE KIND OF SOLID WASTE: 1.CONSTRUCTING MATERIAL IS BURIED IN LAND FILLS 2.PLASTIC, TIN CANS, METAL SCRAP, PAPER MUST BE RECYCLED 3.PLANT & HOUSEHOLD ORGANIC MATERIAL SHOULD BE TURNED INTO MANURE 4.BIOGAS CAN BE OBTAINED FROM BIODEGRADABLE WASTE 5.WASTE FROM HOSPITAL & NURSING HOMES SHOULD BE BURNT IN INCINERATORS

VIDEO: TYPES OF POLLUTION Soil pollution: 4:20-4:57 9.Difference with air pollution: LOCALIZED PHENOMENON (AIR & WATER POLLUTION SPREADS TO LONG DISTANCES) 10.The two main reasons for soil pollution are: –POLLUTANTS WASHED DOWN FROM THE ATMOSPHERE BECAUSE OF RAIN –INSECTICIDES AND PESTICIDES APPLIED TO THE CROPS THIS ALTERS THE COMPOSITION AND QUALITY OF THE SOIL Noise pollution: 4:57-6:00 11.What is noise?: ANY UNWANTED SOUND 12. Unit of measurement: DECIBEL (DB) 13.Examples: THE LOWEST SOUND = 1 db, A ROCKET TAKING OFF = 180 db. NORMAL TALK= 60db 14.Consequences: PRODUCE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON HUMAN BEINGS & OTHER ANIMAL LIFE 15.Which two aspects of noise are injurious for health? LOUDNESS and DURATION OF NOISE 16.Other consequences: ACUTE DAMAGE TO THE EAR DRUM, DEAFNESS, LOWERS EFFICIENCY OF WORK, DISTURBS SLEEP, IRRABILITY Thermal pollution: 6:00-6:25 17.What is thermal pollution?: RELEASE OF HEATED GASES OR WATER REPEATEDLY INTO THE ENVIRONMENT, INCLUDING WATER BODIES 18.Consequences: –IF RELEASED IN THE ATMOSPHERE THEY WARM UP THE AIR IN THAT AREA –IF RELEASED IN WATER BODIES THEY KILL THE AQUATIC LIFE

LISTENING: GREENHOUSE EFFECT 1.A greenhouse is a building whose sides and roof are made of glass so that the temperature inside is magnified. And it is used to grow plants that need high temperatures. 2.These changes result from increasing the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, thus raising the surface temperature of the earth. And this is known as the “Greenhouse Effect”. 3.since 1860, with a sharp increase since The main reason is the burning of fossil fuels. 5.by about 15% -from about 290 to about 340 parts per million. 6.about 0.032%

LISTENING: GREENHOUSE EFFECT 7.incoming sunlight consists of many wavelengths, including some very dangerous ones. 8.But ozone, water vapour and CO2 destroy the harmful wavelengths. So what reaches the earth is visible light. It is absorbed and reradiated into the atmosphere as longer wavelength infrared (IR) radiation, or heat, as the earth cools. 9.This IR radiation is absorbed by CO2. 10.The CO2 then radiates a portion of the absorbed heat energy back to the earth, to warm the atmosphere. 11. Like the glass in a greenhouse, the CO2 in the atmosphere acts as a one-way filter that allows visible light to enter the Earth’s atmosphere, but prevents longer wavelength heat radiation from leaving. 12.Assuming that energy is arriving from the sun at a constant rate, then as the level of CO2 increases, the average surface temperature of the Earth should rise. 13.in 1863, but it was taken as a serious matter in a projected increase in CO2 to 375 parts per million in the year 2000 could cause the average air temperature to increase by about 0.5ºC.

EXERCISE B: US Electricity The two PIECHARTS ILLUSTRATE the production of electricity in the US BY SOURCE in 2003 and In general, COAL was the most important …., although nuclear power GREW in importance. In 2003, coal-powered stations were the main source of electricity, producing 46% of electricity, and this FIGURE increased TO 55% in The SECOND most important source … was natural gas, with almost 25%. However, by 2012, this had DECLINED to just 12.3%. Hydroelectric power also declined OVER the same period, FROM 16% to less than 14%. BY CONTRAST nuclear energy gained in importance. It ROSE from just 1.4% of production in 2003 to almost 14% in 2012, a TEN FOLD increase. IN SUMMARY more electricity was produced from coal and nuclear energy, WHILE natural gas, hydroelectric power, and oil declined IN IMPORTANCE

VIDEO: HOUSING PRICES What is VERY SIGNIFICANT about in the four countries OVER THE DECADE is that the houses in Japan DECLINED SHARPLY IN VALUE, FALLING BY 40% This CONTRASTS VERY STRONGLY with Australia. The latter did see A MARGINAL DROP IN house prices FROM 2000 TO 2002 but the next two years experienced VERY STRONG GROWTH. After A STABLE PERIOD LASTING four years Australian house prices DOUBLED IN VALUE … … so that OVER THE WHOLE PERIOD house prices in Australia RECORDED GROWTH OF 120%

VIDEO: HOUSING PRICES SIMILARLY, the UK saw A CONSIDERABLE INCREASE From 2000 TO 2008 house prices MORE THAN DOUBLED … … but after that FELL SHARPLY Canada also stands IN SHARP CONTRAST … …because it is the only country where HOUSE PRICE GROWTH WAS REGULAR

VIDEO: HOUSING PRICES The table data shows that THE 120% CHANGE IN HOUSE PRICES in Australia …. … was FROM A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS TO MORE THAN HALF A MILLION DOLLARS However AVERAGE ANNUAL WAGES during that period ONLY INCREASED BY ABOUT 50% The effect of this is that in 2000 HOUSE PRICES EQUATED TO 570% … while ten years later THAT FIGURE HAD CLIMBED CONSIDERABLY TO 780%

VIDEO ACID RAIN PARAGRAPH 1 1.Which is the common thing in some lakes of Europe? 2.What is happening to some forests in Central Europe? 3.Which percentage of forests is affected? 4.What is happening to the future of salmon and trout fishing in N & Sw? 5.How many lakes in Sweden are not capable of supporting fish? 6.Which is the cause?

VIDEO ACID RAIN PARAGRAPH 1 1.they are threatened by a huge ecological disaster 2.the great forests are now dead or dying 3.30% 4.the future of salmon and trout fishing is threatened 5.More than 4,000 6.acid rain PARAGRAPH 2 1.All fossil fuels, that is coal, oil and gas contain sulphur 2.when these are burnt, such as in power stations or motor vehicles 3.This sulphuric acid goes up into the air with the exhaust fumes and sooner or later it must fall back to earth 4.people who live in, near power stations notice that their cars rust quickly or that their masonry gets worn away 5.It is transported as far as Scandinavia PARAGRAPH 3 1.it damages vehicles and buildings, but it also has serious ecological effects 2.this was due to the acidification of the lakes, 3.there was so much sulphuric acid in the rain that the lakes themselves became acid which killed the fish

VIDEO ACID RAIN PARAGRAPH 4 1.Apart from the fish, what other things does it affect? 2.In Czechoslovakia what happened in the 60’s ? 3. When was the phenomenon noticed in Germany? 4.What is the situation now? 5.Which is the main source of acid rain? 6.What is required in Japan and W Germany? 7.What do these mechanism do? 8.What is the solution in Britain? 9.Is that any real use? PARAGRAPH 5 1.Which fuel could make some difference? 2.What is another major source of acid rain? 3.What is possible with this type of fuel? 4.What do these mechanisms do? 5.When is this solution not possible? 6.Why? PARAGRAPH 6 1.Summarize this paragraph

VIDEO ACID RAIN PARAGRAPH 4 1.Acid rain also affects trees 2.In Czechoslovakia in the 60’s trees began to die and now there are large areas of former forest which consist of only dead trees 3. in the late 70s 4.many forest areas are dying and some are already dead 5.electric power stations 6.laws requiring their power stations to build filter installations 7.prevent the acid getting out into the air 8.that the chimneys be built taller so that the pollution is more distributed 9.it improves our air in our cities but it distributes the pollution further afield, so that forests in Scandinavia get affected PARAGRAPH 5 1.the introduction of lead-free petrol 2.motor vehicles 3.it would be possible to build exhaust filters 4.prevent the release of acid 5.with lead in the petrol 6.because it prevents the filter mechanism from working PARAGRAPH 6 some of the forests are already too badly affected to be saved, but there are a lot more forests which are slightly affected, and if action was taken now, then they perhaps could be saved. Our forests and lakes are more than just places for relaxation and leisure. They are an essential part of the ecological balance which keeps our planet alive. If the problem is not faced very soon, it may be too late

UNIT 10 Vocabulary Waste disposal Recycling Grammar and functions Describing processes: Sequencing Revision of the grammar structures

LISTENING: WASTE DISPOSAL Which are the 4 main sources of waste? MINES (39%), AGRICULTURE (53%), INDUSTRY (2%), DOMESTIC HOMES / WASTE (6%) Where does it go? –OPEN DUMPS (55%) –NOT COLLECTED OR DISPOSED OF (23%) LEFT ON THE SPOT –LAND-FILL METHOD (12%) BURIED IN THE GROUND –BURNT (9%) –DUMPED TO SEE (1%) DOMESTIC WASTE (RUBBISH, GARBAGE) Open dumps: advantages : EASY TO OPERATE and THE CHEAPEST OF THE 3 disadvantages: unsightly, CAUSE AIR POLLUTION WHEN RUBBISH IS BURNT, SMELL, MATERIALS & LAND ARE WASTED and they can contaminate... Land fill : advantages: CHEAP, NO OBJECTABLE SMELLS OR PESTS, and when the landfill is completed LAND MORE USEFUL THAN BEFORE (e.g. sports field or park) Disadvantages : WASTE MATERIALS and USES A LARGE AREA OF LAND …. Incineration (i.e. BURNING) Advantages: …about 80% OF DOMESTIC RUBBISH and REDUCE ITS VOLUME BY 90%; it requires VERY LITTLE LAND and it produces INCOME FROM THE RECOVERY OF WASTE METAL & GLASS Disadvantages: EXPENSIVE TO BUILD AN INCINERATION PLANT and CAUSES AIR POLLUTION unless sophisticated pollution controls are installed.

TRANSLATION: RESOURCE RECOVERY Numerous thermal processes recover energy IN DIFFERENT WAYS FROM SOLID WASTE. THESE SYSTEMS/METHODS ARE DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUPS: combustion processes and pyrolysis processes. A number of companies burn in-plant wastes in conventional incinerators INORDER TO PRODUCE/GENERATE STEAM; THE WATER FLOWING through the tubes ALLOWS THE HEAT GENERATED IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER TO BE ABSORBED AND GENERATE STEAM. Pyrolysis CONSISTS OF DECOMPOSING CHEMICALLY SOLID WASTE by heat in an oxygen-reduced atmosphere. THIS RESULTS IN A GAS THAT CONTAINS various gases, DEPENDING ON THE ORGANIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LYROLIZED MATERIAL IF USERS SEPARATED THEIR RUBBISH A LARGER AMOUNT OF WASTE COULD BE RECYCLED and that would improve life in our planet … since THE GREATER THE RECYCLED VOLUME,THE LONGER OUR NATURAL RESOURCES WILL LAST
