Air pollution in Portugal


In Portugal, the quality problems of the air does not affect the territory in a systematic way, and is located in some areas as Sines, Setúbal, Barreiro-Seixal, Lisbon, Estarreja and Oporto (where the urban concentration is bigger).

Causes:
-The air pollution is the result of the production of gases.
-Industrial activity.
-Motorized vehicles.
-Fires.
-Burning of garbage.

Consequences:

-Affects the security.
-Erodes the buildings.
-Affects the welfare.
-Affects people's health.


With these things, we cannot say that Portugal's situation is the worst though, there are four thousand premature deaths and a loss of average life expectancy of a few months.

We need to act now!
