There are some examples to prove the influence of environmental pollution on human beings and human activities:1On April 26, 984, more than 7,000 cleaning workers died in the seven years after the nuclear accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the former Soviet Union. After 15, of the 834,000 people who participated in the rescue, 55,000 were killed and disabled150,000. The land within the range of nearby 10 km is not suitable for farming and grazing for 50 years; Milk can't be produced within 100 km nearby and within 10 years. This is an obvious example of the impact of sudden environmental pollution incidents on human survival. The influence of environmental pollution on human survival is also gradual: China National Family Planning Commission surveyed1981-199616, 1726 healthy men in 39 big cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin, showing that due to environmental pollution, the sperm motility rate per ejaculation is high. This is consistent with foreign research results: Danish scientists' statistics show that during the 50 years from 1938 to 1990, the average ejaculation volume of adult men decreased by 20%, and the number of sperm decreased by 40%. In addition, the increase in the incidence of malformations and deformed people also has the background of environmental pollution.
Appendix 6 Environmental Movement1970 On April 22nd, initiated and organized by dennis hayes, a student of Harvard University in the United States, more than 20 million people marched and assembled from US 1000 primary and secondary schools and more than 2,000 universities, and the crowd was very excited. People held high the polluted earth model, huge pictures and various forms, shouted slogans, held rallies and speeches, and strongly urged the government to take measures to protect the living environment. The next day, American President Nixon, who didn't care about the environment, presided over a meeting, set up a special committee, and later set up the State Environmental Protection Agency. The action on April 22 also prompted the US Congress to start making environmental protection regulations. 1972 Stockholm held a global conference on human environment, 1973 the United Nations Environment Programme was established. Since then, the number of government agencies and organizations that protect the environment all over the world has been increasing. It is precisely because of this action that people named April 22nd "Earth Day", and this day also became the anniversary for people in more than 40 countries to carry out large-scale environmental protection activities. Since 1990, China has held publicity activities to commemorate Earth Day every year.
1In June, 972, the United Nations held the first world-wide "Human Environment Conference" in Stockholm, Sweden, and issued the "Declaration on Human Environment", pointing out that human beings are facing all kinds of environmental pollution and extensive ecological destruction, and calling on people to cherish the environment together. This day was designated as "World Environment Day" by the 27th United Nations General Assembly. According to the major environmental problems and hot spots in the world, the United Nations formulates the theme of "World Environment Day" every year. Every year, the United Nations system and governments around the world carry out various activities on this day to publicize the importance of protecting and improving the human environment. At the same time, the United Nations Environment Programme issued an annual report on the state of the environment and held an international conference to commend the "top 500 in the world".
The annual themes "World Environment Day" and "World Environment Day" are 1974. There is only one earth, 1980, a new decade, a new challenge-non-destructive development, 1975, human habitation, 198 1, protecting groundwater and human food chain.
