1. Environment and economical activity: atmospheric contamination

Atmosphere warming: dryness

and floodings, increasing ssea level

Narrower ozone layer: increase skin

cancer and eyes problems.

Acid rain: vegetation, ground

and water alterations

City pollution: increases

respiratory diseases

Excessive human consumption:

•Caudal river reduction and lower lake level.

Sea and ocean contamination:

•Most affected areas: Mediterranean Sea and the main world navegation routes.

Fresh water contamination:

•Less human consumption, water quality and aquatic animals/plants dissapear

3. Environment in SpainAgricultural activity

• Fertilizers, chemical plaguizids, overcultivation, lack of diversity based on a strict selection of species.

Energetic and industrial activities

• Air, water and ground contamination, vegetation alteration and living being damage.

Tertiary activity • Atmospheric and acoustic contamination. Litoral alteration for overconstruction.

Urban activities• Atmospheric contamination from the heat

and traffic. Noise. Uncontrol solid waste discharge.
