Question

Air pollution comes from factories, power stations and cars.Chemicals in the smoke from power stations cause a lot of damage(損害;毀壞) They can travel hundreds of miles in the wind before falling to the ground in the rain.And this "chemical rain" gradually destroys trees in the forests and kills fish in the lakes.In Germany, over 50% of the country's trees had been damaged by the year 1986.
