Environmental contaminationOne of consequences of activity of the person on the Earth is environmental contamination. The factory smoke, exhausts of the cars, dangerous emissions at fires — all it poisons air. In the seas, the rivers and lakes from factories and farms constantly merge life-threatening the person and animals chemicals. The Earth is polluted by dumps, a nuclear waste and other garbage of our civilisation. The huge areas of a surface of the Earth are polluted by a waste of ability to live of the person. Many of a waste are toxic, life-threatening animals and the person. Scientists have counted up that for a year one city dweller throws out one ton of garbage! Today all is more difficult to find a place for storage even such not so dangerous garbage, as plastic.But many waste is really poisonous and even are radioactive. In one only Great Britain in 1990 there were 4800 dumps of dangerous toxic garbage. Sometimes people at all do not suspect that near to them a waste from harmful manufacture is stored. For example, is сведеия that annually in Poland it is uncontrolled on dumps gets about 20 million tons of a dangerous waste. Some countries, which legislation strictly punishes for a burial place of dangerous garbage, export it to other states. Thus hundred thousand tons of a waste goes for destruction or a burial place from the Western Europe in East.
