Cоотнести текст с тем о чем он 1.“ Environmental racism is inequitable distribution of environmental hazards basedon race. The Federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry considerslead poisoning to be the number one environmental health problem for children inthe United States. Some 4 million children many of whom are African American,Latino and Native American- have dangerously high lead levels in their bodies. Thislead is absorbed from contaminated drinking water and soil polluted by industrial effluents and automobile exhaust.” 2.“Every year humans kill about 100 million sharks, skates and rays, about half of them caught as unwanted “by catch” while fishing for other species. Sharks are particularly sensitive to overfishing because they grow slowly, mature late and havefew young each generation. As top predators, sharks play a crucial role in the healthof the ocean ecosystems and their extermination could lead to major ecological changes in the ocean”. 3.“ Every second, on average, four or five children are born somewhere on the earth.I that same second, two other people die. This difference between births anddeaths means a net gain of roughly 2.5 more humans per second in the worldpopulation. This means we are adding 9,000 per hour, 217,000 per day, or about 79 million more people per year.” 4.“ World wide, we lost between 9 million and 12 million ha of forest per year from1990 to 2000. Clear-cutting and burning especially in order to get pasture and cropland have turned many forests into a dry, barren ground”. 5.“ In February 2002, a huge section of the Larsen B Ice Shelf along The AntarcticPeninsula coast suddenly disintegrated into thousands of icebergs. The total volumeof ice released was the equivalent to 29 trillion bags of party ice. Climatologistswarn that this dramatic collapse could be a signal of global climate change and an omen of catastrophic events to come.” 6.“ How does the air taste, feel, smell, and look in your neighbourhood? Chances are that wherever you live, the air is contaminated to some degree. Smoke, dust,corrosive gases andtoxic compounds are present nearly everywhere.” 7.“ A 1 percent loss of ozone results in a 2 percent increase in UV rays reaching theearth’s surface and could result in about a million extra human skin cancers peryear worldwide.” 8.“ Sulfur dioxide and sulphuric acid released by industry causes massive destructionof the vegetation. Rains then wash away the exposed soil, leaving a barren moonscape.” 9.“Pollution from factory pipes has been vastly reduced but erosion from farm fields, construction sites, airborne mercury, sulphur and other substances are increasingly contaminating lakes and wetlands.” A Animalextinction B Acid rain C Air pollution D Overpopulation F Water pollution K Deforestation I Ozone Depletion V Global warming L Hazardouswaste

Answer 1

1-F,2-A,3-D,4-K,5-V,6-C,7-I,8-B,9-L.

Answer 2

1. Air pollution (contaminated drinking water and soil pollution)
2. Animal extinction (killing sharks, skates, and rays as bycatch)
3. Overpopulation (net gain in world population)
4. Deforestation (loss of forested areas)
5. Global warming (disintegration of the Larsen B Ice Shelf)
6. Air pollution (contaminated air in neighborhoods)
7. Ozone depletion (1 percent loss of ozone leading to increased UV rays)
8. Acid rain (sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid causing vegetation destruction)
9. Water pollution (pollution from various sources contaminating lakes and wetlands)
