The 4 main environmental problems in Spain are air pollution from traffic, industry and Saharan currents which causes acid rain, ozone layer destruction, and the greenhouse effect; deforestation from farming, urban development, and forest fires; pollution, erosion, and land desertification caused by industrial discharges and exacerbated by climate change; and overfishing and water pollution from increased water consumption and waste disposal, affecting areas like southern Huelva, the River Nervion, and Galicia.

1. The 4 main environmental
problems in Spain
Pilar Ramos Hernández

2. 1.-Air Pollution
Traffic, industry and Saharan currents are behind the problem,The latest
report on air quality in Spain (2012), prepared by Ecologists in Action.
Juan Barcena responsible for air quality says that "we in harmful levels."
The main consequences of air pollution are:
Acid Rain:the causes are lead emissions and nitrogen.consequences are
changes in vegetation, water, soil, and even buildings.
The destruction of the ozone layer: the causes that are causing chlorine.
consequences are increased skin cancer and eye and respiratory problems.
The greenhouse effect: the causes that cause is emissions of gases such as
methane and carbon dioxide.The consequences are global rise in
temperature on a global scale and a series of climatic changes that have
begun to be in drought.

4. 2.-deforestation
The causes of deforestation are:
-The farming activities
-urban development
-forest fires

5. 3.-Pollution, erosion and land
desertification
Contamination is caused by industrial discharges,Soil erosion is a problem
in Spain mainly in semi-arid regions.This problem increase as
result of climate change.

6. 4.-Overfishing and water pollution
Overfishing is caused by increased water consumption.
The water pollution is produced by putting waste in them.
The most affected areas of Spain are:
Southern Huelva.
The River Nervion.
Areas such as Galicia

7. In 1975 I was the first Protected Natural Areas Act, the parks are areas of high
ecological and natural value.
Nature reserves, protect ecosystems and Protected landscapes , protected
areas for aesthetic values.
