Barcelona’s Air Pollution

Barcelona’s Air Pollution

The Spanish environment is not at its best as of now. It is said that more people die from air pollution than in traffic accidents. Thirty-two point five percent of the gases come from traffic; and thirty-two point four percent comes from plant production. Upset about air pollution, the Spanish people, as well as the government, are taking little steps at a time to cut down on air pollution. Some steps that the people are taking are reducing the speed limit, and using public transportation. The European Union has reported that air pollution is one cause of respiratory problems and even cancer. These health conditions have caused 370,000 deaths a year.
Pollution is defiantly not a good thing, but at least the Spanish people are taking part in stopping air pollution. I have had an aunt lost her long battle with cancer. I would not wish these feelings on my worst enemy. So please let’s cut down air pollution.
