HUMAN ENVIRONMENT INTERACTION
Humans Affected the Environment
There are industrial smog and automobile exhaust fumes in metropolitan Athens. Over half of all industry is located in the greater Athens area. The following are dates are just a taste of Greece’s history of pollution: from June to August 1982, the air pollution became so oppressive that the government closed down 87 industries, ordered 19 others to cut production, and banned traffic from the city center. In July 1984, the smog again reached the danger point, and 73 factories were ordered to stop producing their products and cars were banned from the city. In January 1988, the number of taxis in the center of Athens was halved, and private cars were banned from the city's three main thoroughfares because of the smog. The smog regularly sends hundreds of Greeks to the hospital with respiratory and heart complaints. So basically, since the inhabitants of Athens, Greece created so much pollution to their environment, they, themselves are now suffering.
