We invite the citizens of St. Petersburg , specialists and educators to join it and share their views on the urgent global and local ecological problems. The Chairman: Today we’ll have to give a general idea of the ecological situation on our planet. Our planet is on the verge of a Global Ecological Catastrophe , so we have to highlight the most dangerous tendencies that have deadly consequences for us. Some people live in a town environment and the other -in a country one. The air we breathe, the soil on which we stand and the water we drink are all parts of our environment. Now Man is beginning to realize that environment is not just his own town or country, but the whole earth. Whether Man survives or not, depends on his ability to live in harmony with his environment. Now let’s look at this diagram. The extinction of plant and animal life pollution World population growth Global warming Energy problems Holes in the Ozone Layer About two hundred years ago Man lived in harmony with nature, but now it’s a dramatic situation. We have a lot of problems. ( a 2 minute talk on the greatest threats to the world’s environment) Reporter: Can you give a more detailed picture of these problems? Scientist : We have been monitoring air pollution round the world for 8 years, we measure two things: the amount of sulphur dioxide (SO 2) in the air and the amount of suspended particles, in other words smoke. Sulphur dioxide is produced when fossil fuels such as gas, oil and petrol are burnt. Rain washes it out of the air but this creates 'acid rains' which pollute water supplies, damage crops, forests and buildings and may also affect people's health. Water pollution has become a serious problem in many seas and rivers. Reporter: Are all big cities equally affected by the pollution? Scientist: The cities most affected by sulphur dioxide are Milan, Prague, Santiago and San Paulo. But some cities with the reputation for clean air get worse in winter. Helsinki, for example, becomes one of the cities with the most sulphur dioxide content in the air in winter. This must be because of the great increase in fossil fuel and wood burnt to heat the buildings. Glasgow and Warsaw suffer in the same way. Reporter : Does the pollution of the air depend on the part of the world, where the city is situated? Scientist : In accordance with our investigations in some hot countries strong sunlight can change the exhaust gases from automobiles into stronger pollution. There may be desert dust in the air mixed with smoke.So there is some dependence on the climate. And such cities as Teheran. Baghdad, Delhi, Calcutta are among the smokiest cities.
