1. Environmental problems

2. Pollution Air pollution
components: carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide
resources: thermal power stations, motor vehicles, burning of fossil fuels, coal mining, mineral mining, stone mining, aerosols
effects: acid rain, smog

3. health problems: pulmonary diseases, cancer
solution: alternation of fuel, natural power resources, boycotting pollutants, factory legislation

4. Water pollution by biological materials: suds, faeces
by chemical materials: oil, detergents, phenols, fertilisers, pesticide
by physical materials: radioactive pollution, thermal pollution
effects: absence of drinking water, death of some water species

5. solution: avoid to evasion of damaging materials, protect ground water, closed water circuit
redundant eutrophication- overpopulation of krill and cyanobacteria, sewage treatment plant

6. Soil pollution caused by: hydrocarbons, pesticides, heavy metals
transport of chemicals, tanker crashes, land filling, sludge from sewage treatment plant
effects : soil degradation, erosion, death of animals
solution: waste composting, accurate way of agriculture

7. Leavings = things, we want to banish sorts: communal waste
residual communal waste
solid communal waste
household waste
decomposable waste
hazardous waste, mill residues, nuclear waste, agricultural waste, car wrecks

8. effects : air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, modification of landscape
solution: produce less waste, maximal utilizing of things, buying eco products, waste sorting ( plastic, paper, glass+ metals, electrical products, decomposable waste,..recycling)

9. Change of the landscape appearance
caused by: agriculture, industry ( especially heavy industry- factories, plants,..)
coal mining, stacks, reminders of mines, ploughed balks, concreted flows, monoculture forests
solution: national parks, protected landscape areas

10. Species extinction
background extinction- natural, average durability of species
mass extinction- a lot of species in a short time
for example: extinction of dinosaurs( before 65 million years)
species extinction during the burning and mining in rainforests
caused by: natural disaster or human activity
solution: protected plants and animals

11. Climatic changes
caused by: burning of fossil fuels, produce of CO2, aerosols, dust, deforestation, drainage
effects : greenhouse effect global warming, melting glaciers, sea level rise, thunderstorms, floods , damage to the ozone layer
solution: low greenhouse
gas emissions

12. Transport
greenhouse gas emissions ( carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide)-especially from road transport -fuels
accidents
consumption of energy(electric) and fuels
noise-especially in big towns- health problems
solution: using public transport, bicycle paths, road tax, limitation of parking

13. Depletion of natural resources
Non renewable resources- coal, fossil fuel, oil, natural gas, nuclear, peat
air pollution, leavings from mining, residual fissionable fuel
Solution: renewable resources-natural, considerate to environment (hydropower energy, solar energy- solar collector, biomass energy, wind energy- airscrew, geothermal energy, tidal energy)

15. Tourism a big development today
air pollution, water pollution, building edifices in nature, distortion of protected landscape areas, produce of leavings
solution: responsible attitude to nature
