Sandstone figure over the portal of a castle in Westphalia, Germany, photographed in 1908 (left) and again in 1968 (right). Acid rain produced by air pollution generated in the heavily industrialized Ruhr region of Germany probably accounts for the severe damage. The castle was built in 1702.

In the past 30 years acid rain has killed more than half of the Black Forest in Germany

Pollutes the rivers and kills the wildlife

Main cause is smoke from factories and power plants
Air current bring chemical-filled air from other countries to Germany

Emissions from cars and buses add to the problem

Europe's Worst Pollution Pocket Found Above Western Germany
Home to Germany's steel and coal industries, the area between Amsterdam and Frankfurt is the most polluted in Europe, scientists said.

Northwestern Germany, and northern Italy have such high levels of pollution because . . .
London, Paris, Moscow, and Madrid have high levels of pollution because . . .

London is notorious for air pollution called smog which is caused by sunlight acting on the gases from cars and factory exhausts.

The Great Smog of 1952 lasted for 4 days and killed thousands of people.
This event made people around the world realize they needed to work on the problem of air pollution.

Today the British government has regulations for industries and regularly checks air quality.
The use of cleaner forms of energy and cars with less harmful emissions has helped the air quality

Location of the Nuclear Power Plant

April 26, 1986- Chernobyl Nuclear Plant in then Soviet Union (Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic), now Ukraine
Worst nuclear power plant disaster in history
A reactor exploded that caused other reactors to explode, fires, and a plume of highly radioactive fallout
400 times more than the fallout of the Hiroshima atomic bomb

The plume drifted over extensive parts of the western Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and Northern Europe
Light nuclear rain falling as far as Ireland Large areas in Ukraine, Belarus, and
Russia were badly contaminated, resulting in the evacuation and resettlement of over 336,000 people

Land was poisoned with radiation
Drinking water was unsafe for months
Animals died Forests turned brown and
died 30 mile radius of the
power station was abandoned and became a ghost town
