Britain will fail to meet targets set by the European Economic Community (EEC) for reducing air pollution unless the government fits more antipollution equipment to power stations and takes energy conservation more seriously. This warning comes in a report commissioned by Greenpeace, the environmental pressure group(压力组织). The authors, from the Earth Resources Research, calculate that by 1993, levels of sulphur dioxide (二氧化物) pollution from power stations in Britain will match those in 1970. But they expect overall emissions of sulphur dioxide to fall by 10 percent by 1993. The government predicts a fall of 22 percent.
In accordance with EEC regulations, Britain should reduce by 1993 its emissions of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides by 20 percent, using the level of air pollution in 1980 as baseline. The report challenges three elements of the government’ s policy for meeting the regulations. The government expects organizations such as the Central Electricity Generation Board to equip new coalfired stations with gas scrubbers (涤气器) and to fit existing stations with equipment for filtering out sulphur dioxide. Power stations account for nearly 90 percent of the sulphur dioxide that Britain discharges into the. air. The government also assumes that the oil industry will contract. This should affect the levels of sulphur dioxide pumped out by refineries(炼油厂). Thirdly, the Department of the Environment expects the level of industrial air pollution to fall as factories close or improve their technology to tighten control on emissions.
The authors of the report argue that emissions from refineries will not fall as much as the government expects bemuse the oil industry itself will not fall off as rapidly as once expected. Also, they doubt whether air pollution produced by industry will fall as quickly as the government assumes.
The Department of the Environment expects the level of industrial air pollution to fall because______.
选项
A、old factories will be replaced by new ones
B、modern power stations will be constructed
C、better controlling methods will be used
D、no emissions will be allowed according to EEC regulations
答案
C
解析
根据题中关键词"The Department of Environment expects...”,我们可知答题依据在第二段第七句。从"as factories close or improve the technology to tighten control on emission.”,我们可以得出"better controlling methods will be used"的结论。
