In connection with the intensive industrialization of the society, environmental pollution has become particularly acute in recent decades. However, despite this fact, natural pollution is one of the oldest problems in the history of mankind. Even in the era of primitive people began to barbarically destroy forests, exterminate animals and change the landscape of the earth to expand the territory of residence and obtain valuable resources.
Even then it led to climate change and other environmental problems. The population growth of the planet and the progress of civilizations were accompanied by increased extraction of minerals, drainage of reservoirs, and chemical pollution of the biosphere. The industrial revolution marked not only a new era in the social order, but also a new wave of pollution.
With the development of science and technology, scientists have received tools through which accurate and detailed analysis of the ecological state of the planet became possible. Meteorological reports, control of the chemical composition of air, water and soil, satellite data, as well as ubiquitous smoking pipes and oil spots on the water, indicate that the problem is rapidly exacerbated with the expansion of the technosphere. No wonder the appearance of man is called the main ecological
