Why is air pollution, particularly in Europe and North America, such a serious problem?
Q. According to data i have been given. Pollution by humans is far less than pollution from natural sources, such as forest fires, biological processes, volcanoes, bacterial action in soils, electrical storms etc. Yet in many cities, particularly in Europe and North America, air pollution is an extremely serious problem. Why?

A. Air pollution is actually not a very serious problem in developed countries. The problem lies in large but poorer cities where environmental restrictions may be laxer. While major western cities become more financial those that are poorer are experiencing an Industrial Revolution, and those factories belch toxins out into the sky. In Victorian London, the air was very dirty and there were many deaths from the factories. Imagine this being repeated in a cities such as Beijing.
