The negative effects of globalisation in my town.

The biggest problem in the city of Volos is the environmental pollution. This problem focused in the factory of cement which has been working for over 40 years in the area. This is the reason why Volos has increased percentages of pollution. The result of this fact is the pollution of Pagasetic gulf in one way. In other way of pollution is the harmful gases which are emitted in higher frequency, especially during the night. As a result diseases like asthma or cancer are on the increase. The measures which the municipality of Volos could take, is the restriction of harmful gases with environmental filters. However, it is common true that this factory has been helped many families in my town to leave with a standard income every month and if this factory close it will be very strong blow for the local community.
