The most serious ecological problems

Since ancient times Nature has served Man, being the source of his life. For thousands of years people lived in harmony with environment and it seemed to them that natural riches were unlimited. But with the development of civilization man's interference in nature began to increase. Large cities with thousands of smoky industrial enterprises appear all over the world today. The by-products of their activity pollute the air we breathe, the water we drink, the land we grow grain and vegetables on.
Over the years of technological revolution, we have experienced various kinds of environment problems, destruction of ozone layer, global warming, greenhouse effect and other phenomena that aggravate the ecological situation.
