Answer:

  • Timber and farming creates big profits for some people, so deforestation is hard to stop.
  • The practice damages biodiversity in one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth.

Explanation:

  • Deforestation is the process by which a large track of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest is getting depleted as form 1970 about more than 700,000 km square of the forestland have been destroyed and damaged by the malpractices of cutting trees and that is about 87% of the original forestland.
  • Causes are cattle ranching and grazing of the wild animals. Making of the infrastructure and building constructions, mining activity, and the soybean plantation. Apart from all this, the large scale rise of global warming processes is also responsible for the destruction of the forests.
  • <u>These are both threatening to the biodiversity and the local inhabitant of the lands. Creating pollution and the land degradation, hence affecting the water supply.</u>

Explain the effects of air pollution on several European countries. (Site 1)
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Air pollution harms human health and the environment. In Europe, emissions of many air pollutants have decreased substantially over the past decades, resulting in improved air quality across the region. However, air pollutant concentrations are still too high, and air quality problems persist. A significant proportion of Europe’s population live in areas, especially cities, where exceedances of air quality standards occur: ozone, nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter (PM) pollution pose serious health risks. Several countries have exceeded one or more of their 2010 emission limits for four important air pollutants. Reducing air pollution therefore remains important.

Air pollution is a local, pan-European and hemispheric issue. Air pollutants released in one country may be transported in the atmosphere, contributing to or resulting in poor air quality elsewhere.

Particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide and ground-level ozone, are now generally recognised as the three pollutants that most significantly affect human health. Long-term and peak exposures to these pollutants range in severity of impact, from impairing the respiratory system to premature death. Around 90 % of city dwellers in Europe are exposed to pollutants at concentrations higher than the air quality levels deemed harmful to health. For example, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in air has been estimated to reduce life expectancy in the EU by more than eight months. Benzo(a)pyrene is a carcinogenic pollutant of increasing concern, with concentrations being above the threshold set to protect human health in several urban areas, especially in central and eastern Europe.

"Air pollution is causing damage to human health and ecosystems. Large parts of the population do not live in a healthy environment, according to current standards. To get on to a sustainable path, Europe will have to be ambitious and go beyond current legislation."
