Environmental protection has become a serious challenge by the end of the 20th century. Big industrial corporations keep polluting water in rivers, lakes and seas. Oil tankers dump oil into seas and oceans. Many countries use cheap electricity from nuclear power plants that are environmentally dangerous. Forests are felled, including rain forests (тропічні). As a result, animals, birds, and fish are killed. Life in big cities is also affected by big industries and transport.
All fossil fuels, that is, oil, coal, and gas, contain sulphur. When these are burnt, for example, in motor vehicles, they form sulphuric acid. This acid goes up into the air and causes acid rains.
The river Rhine in Germany was known to have been badly polluted some decades ago by industrial plants and sewage water. The German government took very decisive and drastic measures to punish those responsible for the pollution. The result was striking.
