Clean air - Danish efforts
Abstract
Lakes are deprived of fish, the number of flora and fauna species is falling, harvest
yields are reduced, sickness and premature deaths prevail. These are some of a range of
harmful effects caused by air pollution. Through targeted efforts, both at EU and UN
level, we have succeeded in reducing or solving a number of these problems. The most
recent achievement was the adoption of the Gothenburg Protocol - a huge step forward in
our efforts to reduce air pollution all over Europe. However, a number of problems remain
to be solved. Urban transport is still a source of danger to human health. Emissions of
sulphur dioxide from international shipping are still not regulated. Dioxin and other
dangerous compounds still threaten animals and Man. The depletion of the ozone layer has
not been definitely curbed. And perhaps the largest problem: the risk that greenhouse gas
emissions will influence the Earth's climate, is still unsolved. This leaflet gives an
outline of air pollution control efforts made in Denmark in the past.
