Return of London’s Fog

 

Since the beginning of 2015 the air quality in London has been decreasing and exceeding the air pollution levels. Since the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution had an increase in the amount of burning fuels and the air pollution increased. In 1952, polluted fog which lasted about 5 days killed 4,000 people . Vehicles are the main source of pollution in London today. Although, the Clean Air Act was passed in that city since 1956 the air doesn’t seem to be getting better because of the pollution from vehicles.


Cars are causing a great impact in the air quality, not just in London but in the whole world. It is important that everyone understands that it is better to find better ways of transportation that will not pollute the air as much. Although, an initiative was taken in London since 1956 the air is not getting better. I think it is important that everyone tries whatever they can, like reduce the amount of times they drive, because the air is getting polluted everyday and someday it will be extremely polluted.
