Record the interviews and compose a report. Step 6. Homework. Show the additional materials about pollution and write a report about pollution in China 资料 我国环境污染现状令人担忧 据专家估计,中国每年因环境污染造成的损失达到二千八百三十亿元人民币,其中,仅水污染一项,估计一年造成经济损失约五百亿元。 据香港《东方日报》报导,自六十年代至今,中国有环境监测的四百三十二条大小河流中,八成受到不同程度的水体污染,其中大江河经过城镇河段的占二成,支流受污染的占六成,全中国二千八百多个湖泊,凡能接纳城镇污水的,大多出现水体负氧化现象。由于地下水过度开采,京津沪大面积出现土地沉降一点五公尺至二公尺,桂林溶岩区三十米地下水重金属超标十至二十倍。 大气污染造成的经济损失约为二百亿元,由于城市燃煤、工厂排放废气及汽车死气污染,大气中二氧化硫、一氧化碳等有毒悬浮微粒弥漫在城市上空,空气污染导致许多城市肺癌死亡率增至万分之二,全国酸雨覆盖面积已达百分之三十,所有这些损失加起来也等于二百亿元。 而生态环境破坏和自然灾害造成的损失估计高达二千亿元,森林覆盖率由四九年的三成左右,现已下降至不足一成四,草原的严重退化,水土流失面积达一百五十五万平方公里,占国土面积的百分之十六。 同时,城镇建设却仍以每年侵占一百五十万公顷土地的速度发展,破坏自然生态平衡,加上自然灾害带来的损失,每年至少损失二百亿元。 其他污染如固体废物排放、噪音污染等造成的损失也高达一百三十亿元。 专家分析表示,造成环境污染引起的经济损失原因众多,但国家工业规划布局失误,调控措施不力和公民环保意识不强是主要原因。 |
