Cleaning the Air Air pollution is a major issue that has serious effects on our health. It is much worse in cities. Although some measures have been taken, more ones need to be done. One city that is taking big steps to reduce air pollution is Birmingham. It wants to create a Clean Air Zone that will improve the air quality for everyone in the city. The city plans to do this by improving the public transport system. There are long-term plans over the next twenty years to build three new metro lines and create fast bus routes across the city as well as open new train stations and improve the railway lines. Other plans are already in place. The city council is encouraging people to cycle more and only use their cars when there is more than one person in each vehicle. It is also introducing a programme to help people and businesses buy electric vehicles. The council has also come up with ideas to help manage traffic. Their solutions aim to make traffic flow smoothly, so there are fewer traffic jams causing increased traffic fumes. The city centre will become a Clean Air Zone in June this year and people will have to pay to drive their cars here. This will reduce the amount of nitrogen dioxide and make the air cleaner for the people who live and work there. The city is already on its way to making the air cleaner for its citizens and improving their health. (Adapted from English Workbook 12 – Bright) Question 23.
