History
Pollution has always
been a factor in human history. What to do with our waste byproducts has
been a question. It was handled originally by moving from the affected
area or some form of clean up. Today the problem is global and does not
have easy answers. Moving is not an option and cleaning up the mess must
be done. We have to solve the problem through cooperation, legislation and
individual efforts. Below are sites that describe pollution's history. |
