By the mid-twentieth century the air over urban and industrial centers had become foul and the waters filthy.

The costs of cleaning up the damage caused by pollution do not naturally fall on those who cause it. Though many companies acting as good citizens make efforts to protect the environment, there is little economic incentive for them to do so/

Modern technology produces massive amounts of wastes. Burning fossil in cars and factories releases pollutants into the air. Then dust and moisture combine in the atmosphere to form acid in clouds, and eventually there is an acid rainfall or snowfall. The results are deadly. Acid rain kills fish and plants in lakes. It also builds up in the soil and damages crops. It wears away building surfaces. Blown by winds, the acid rain may fall far from the source of pollution. Acid rains caused by pollutants in our country may fall on other countries. In fact, studies indicate that about half the acid rainfall in Canada may originate in the United States.

Water is considered polluted when it cannot be used for its intended purpose, such as drinking, recreation, farming, or manufacturing. Pesticides and chemical fertilizers used by farmers and home owners pollute streams, rivers, and ground waters when they are transported by rain-water runoff.

Government efforts to control pollution have taken three forms: direct regulation, effluent fees and tax credits.
