Question

What has been the main cause of air pollution in Britain? What has the country done to correct these problems?

Answer 1

Answer:

In the UK, high pollution levels are sometimes caused by dust blown from the Sahara desert.

Other sources of air pollution include: sources of smoke, including cigarette smoke, burning fuel in houses for heating or cooking, emissions from power generation, industry and farming.

The UK government has plans to improve pollution due to traffic, and is banning the sale of new fossil fuel cars by 2040, and is phasing out the use of coal in its electrical power generation.
