The graph below shows UK air pollutants in millions of tons, from three different sources, between 1990 and 2005.
The line graph illustrates three different sources where
pollution
was generated in the UK and the general quantity produced, between 1990 and 2005.
Overall
, throughout the time the data has shown that levels
of contamination in general terms had decreased. However
, only transportation has not decreased the production of pollution
. In the 90's levels
of pollution
reached the highest rates. But, at the end
of this
decade, the levels
started to go down considerably.
Firstly
, to be more specific in 1990 the rates of total pollution
were over 6 million tonnes, and this
number was very high, due to
the factories, which it was causing at least 90 % of the total contamination sources with more than 5 million tonnes. But, in 1993, this
figure dropped sharply, reaching almost half of the levels
, and continued to decline steadily until 2005.
In addition
, in 1990 transportation as well as
contamination produced by houses were very low, they just reached 1 million tones of pollution
rates. Even though, both of them have had some fluctuations through the chart both were very stable until 2005.Submitted by katina.marinakisossa on
