1、The effect on happiness of exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) , a gas mostly produced in diel fumes (柴油机),is comparable to the effect from losing a job, ending a relationship or the death of a partner, rearch suggests.
The study found a "significant and negative association" between life satisfaction and levels of the pollutant, which caus lung problems. Sarah J Knight and Peter Howley of York University took life satisfaction data from the British Houhold Panel Survey and UK Houhold Longitudinal Survey and com pared it with detailed air quality records from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Given that far more people are expod to NO2 than suffer unemployment or end a relationship, Knight and Howley suggest that the benefits tosociety from reducing such emissions(排放) would be substantive.冰糖雪梨银耳汤
The highest levels of NO2 occur in London, with the lowest levels in parts of south-west England. The capital has the honour of being home to the worst NO2 hotspot in Europe: Marylebone Road, which recorded the highest annual mean levels of the pollutant, more than double the legal EU limit.
Pollution from nitrogen oxides (NO) is responsible for lens of thousands of premature deaths(过早死) across Europe, with the UK suffering a particularly high toll. Much of the pollution is produced by diel cars, which emit about six times more than allowed in the official lab-bad teats.
星期六的一天日记The European Environment Agency said the UK had 11,940 premature deaths in 2013 from NO2. The number was down from 14,100 in the previous year, but was still the cond worst in Europe after Italy.

2、Nowadays people begin to pay more attention to the environment they live in. They care about air quality and water they drink every day. But few things exerci green nsibilities more than marine (海洋的)plastic litter. Scientists estimate that perhaps 16,000,000 tons of plastic waste enters the ocean each year. Much stays clo to the shore. Some, though, is carried by waves to the ocean.
The biggest part is located halfway between California and Hawaii. A study found that it contains between about 45,000 and 129,000 tons of plastic pieces over an area roughly the size of Alaska.
The idea of sweeping it all up might sound impossible. To Boyan Slat it emed merely ambitious. What if, wondering in 2012 (then aged 18) , he could build a large bow-shaped floating barrier, cast it to the abed and let waves wash the litter into the “spoon”? Despite his youthful age and crazy plan, Mr. Slat t up the Ocean Cleanup to pul it into practice. Six years later, the “spoon” named System
001 t sail from San Francisco on September 8th, followed by coast guards, camera crews and curious boaters.
System 001 , which is made of plastic, is 600 meters long and 1.2 meters in diameter(直径). A three-meter-deep skirt beneath the “spoon” prevents litter from escaping under it; plastic tends to float within a meter of the water’s surface. The "spoon ” is even simpler than Mr. Slat’s original idea, having dispend(摒弃) with the anchor. The "spoon" which i
s driven by waves as well as wind, always moves faster than the plastic. It therefore brings the litter up as it floats.
If System 001 succeeds, Mr. Slat wants to put another 60 ikspoonsn inlo u. Corporate sponsors would offer him 5 million euros for construction and three years' operation. Mr. LeBreton thinks that a fleet ( 舰队) of “spoons” could, by 2040, sweep up all the non-tiny plastic pieces. If plastic waste continues coming, it would outweigh the fleets ability to catch it within a few years. The ocearrs plastic problem cannot really be solved without better waste management on land.
