Abstract
eng: 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.

Resumé
dan: Søer uden fisk, færre dyre- og plantearter, mindre høstudbytte, sygdomme og for tidlige dødsfald. Luftforurening kan have mange forskellige skadelige virkninger. Gennem en målrettet indsats både i EU og indenfor FN er det lykkedes at begrænse eller løse en række af disse problemer. Senest er der med vedtagelsen af FNs såkaldte Gøteborg-protokol taget et stor skridt frem mod at begrænse luftforureningen i hele Europa. Tilbage står dog flere uløste problemer. Trafikken i byerne er stadig en kilde til belastning af menneskeligt sundhed. Dioxin og andre farlige forbindelser udgør fortsat en trussel mod dyr og mennesker. Nedbrydningen af ozonlaget er ikke definitivt bremset. Og det måske største problem, risikoen for at påvirke jordens klima gennem udsendelse af drivhusgasser, er stadig uløst. Denne pjece gør status over den danske indsats mod luftforurening.
