Italy: the greatest environmental threats
Introduction
The aim of this report is to provide an overview of the most significant
environmental threats in Italy, as well as to present ideas which may help
improve the situation in the foreseeable future.
Air pollution
According to the latest statistics on air pollution in the Italian cities,
the main problem is the massive use of wheel transport. This situation lies
deep in the historical evolution of this country, where the development of road
transport infrastructure has always been promoted. Taking into account the population
density in Italy and the Italian passion for cars, it is indeed one of the
major threats.
Soil pollution
There is an extensive use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides. The Italians love food and possess a booming agriculture industry, however
industrial emission and badly-threated industrial waste present a risk for the
country and its beautiful landscapes.
Recommended solutions
The need for structural changes within the country is evident, and so the
following ideas are suggested:
1. Expand and improve public transport networks with environmentally
friendly-vehicles, and timetables and prices attractive for workers and
students.
2. Tighten control over the use of pesticides and industrial emissions and
provide strict monitoring to factories.
It is utterly important that the government takes these actions to protect
the environment.
