8、etting Steadily Worse?/B Much of the discussion of environmental problems in the popular press leaves the reader with the impression that matters have been growing steadily worse, and that pollution is largely a product of the profit system and modern industrialization. There are environmental probl
9、ems today that are both enormous and pressing, but in fact pollution is nothing new. Medieval cities were pestholesthe streets and rivers were littered with garbage and the air stank of rotting wastes. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, a German traveler reported that to get a view of Londo
10、n from the tower of St. Pauls, one had to get there very early in the morning “before the air was full of coal smoke.“ Since 1960 there has been progress in solving some pollution problems, much of it the result of concerted efforts to protect the environment. The quality of the air in most Canadian
11、 cities has improved. In Toronto, for example, the concentration of suspended particulates, or soot, in the air has fallen dramatically since 1962. To put this figure in perspective, it should be noted that the current health advisory level for the index is 32. At a level of 58, people with chronic
12、respiratory diseases may be affected. At 100, even healthy people may be affected by prolonged conditions, and those with cardiac and respiratory diseases could suffer severe effects Recently in Toronto, the index has exceeded 32 on fewer than half a dozen days annually. Similar improvements have oc
13、curred elsewhere in Canada and in other industrialized countries. Even the famous, or rather infamous, “fogs“ of London are almost a thing of the past. There have been two high readings of particular note in the British capital in 1959 (when the index rose to 275 and there was a 10 percent increase
14、over the normal number of deaths) and in 1962 (when the index rose to 575 and there was a 20 percent increase in mortality ). But more recently, Londons, cleaner air has resulted in an astounding 50 percent increase in the number of hours of winter sunshine. In short, pollution problems are not a un
15、iquely modem phenomenon, nor is every part of the environment deteriorating relentlessly. Environmental problems do not occur exclusively in capitalist economies. For example, in the Peoples Republic of China, coal soot from factory smokestacks in Beijing envelops the city in a thick black haze. Sim
16、ilarly, smoke from brown-coal furnaces pollutes the air almost everywhere in Eastern Europe. It has been estimated that a third of Polands citizens live in areas of “ecological disaster“. The citizens of Leipzig, a major industrial city in what was formerly East Germany, have a life expectancy a ful
17、l six years shorter than the national average. However, we do not mean to suggest that all is well with the environment in market-oriented economies or that there is nothing more to do. While there have been some improvements, serious problems remain. Our world is now subject to a number of new poll

20、期就会损坏，然后就作为垃圾扔掉。我们烧掉许多垃圾，烟灰就增多了。还有工厂制造的汽车。汽车一旦出厂在街上行驶，将会吸进空气，排出有毒的气体，并增加空气中的烟尘。 世界上还没有一个彻底摆脱了空气污染的地区。我们必须采取些措施来控制空气污染。 现在越来越多的人认识到清洁的空气的重要性。学校正在把有关污染的问题纳入教学内容。企业界在帮着净化空气，他们安装了特别的设备来清除烟雾。科学家和发明家们正在努力开发更加清洁的汽车和火车引擎，终有一天我们会驾驶着电力汽车，会有一种新型的纸，在水里溶化而不需要燃烧。一些国家正在开发研制一种新型的、会在阳光下溶化和消失的玻璃瓶。 或许，人们在城市里能呼吸新鲜空气的日子
