  • Looking down into a steep-sided valley, Distant streets and working-class terraced homes are beyond smoking chimneys from a Furnacite coking plant at Abercwmboi. Once known as the worst polluter in Britain it was owned by the National Coal Board (NCB) and sold to the Welsh Development Asoociation (WDA) for £1 Pound though arguments are still raging about how to clear it up and cleanup estimates range from £15-£20 million. The pollution had cruel effects on the local population. It made smokeless coal and locals joked that the plant took the smoke out and dumped it on the Cynon Valley but there was concern about toxic waste dumped in the village after the plant's closure and some suffered birth defects. Ironically, the plant was closed because of environmental considerations.

The government has advised older people and those with lung or heart issues to avoid strenuous activity altogether. The poor air quality is the result of an intense area of high pressure covering western Europe. The associated lack of air movement means emissions from vehicles and other pollutants are not blown away as they usually would be.

  • Rubbish and litter in the 1990s blocks the waterways of a canal, on 10th September 1994, in Stratford, east London, England. Algae and household pollution lies on the surface of the waters dug by navvies of the Victorian era when canals around Britain helped supply the industrial revolution with the raw ingredients to power the furnaces, mills and wharves of the transport age. This is a small outlet of the River Lea where the future 2012 Olympic Park would eventually be built - the waters once again freed from 20th century dereliction.

  • An aerial cityscape of polluting street traffic below St Paul's Cathedral during the early-1990s. Looking down from a high viewpoint we see London traffic and polluted streets below with the corner of St Paul's Cathedral before its stonework was cleaned, its stained surfaces removed after centuries of grime and poor air quality. Red Routemaster buses drive from Ludgate Hill towards Cannon Street into the City, London's London's financial district.

  • A Met Police officer wears a pollution mask while in traffic in central London. With elastic ties reaching behind his head, the policeman breathes easier in the presence of microscopic background bacteria particles and NO2 gas levels found in areas of heavy traffic, in large UK cities. His work takes him out into polluted areas and the Police Federation insist on protecting its union members from atmospheric harm.

  • Rubbish and litter blocks the waterways of a canal in east London. Algae and household pollution lies on the surface of the waters dug by navvies of the Victorian era when canals around Britain helped supply the industrial revolution with the raw ingredients to power the furnaces, mills and wharves of the transport age. This is a section of the River Neckinger that once flowed from south London into the Thames at Bermindsey but during the redevelopment of the warves into expensive riverside apartments, the waters were once again freed from 20th century dereliction.

  • A year after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Communist Eastern Bloc, the stone decoration on an office building wall has been eaten away by atmospheric pollution, on 4th November 1990, in Leipzig, Germany.

  • It is 10.15 in the morning and a mother and her daughter have crossed a road in Ruda Slaska, Poland, while an older lady has paused on the zebra crossing. It is a dark and gloomy day in this heavily polluted, industrial town in southern Poland. The local employer is the Huta Pokoj  SA steel mill that dominates the landscape, rising as a filthy tower that makes the air quality so poor that respiratory deceases are common, with soot present in the atmosphere for children to breathe. The environmental impact of 1990s post-Stalinist Polish heavy industry is evident. The day is damp, depressing and unhealthy with a truck's headlights on as pedestrians stand on the roadside, wait at the bus stop or cycle past on the pavement.

  • Household refuse pollutes a coral beach on Meedu Island, an indigenous community in the Republic of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean. Packaging, foodstuffs and general waste has been tossed away on this otherwise beautiful place, north of the capital Male. Unfortunately, the practice of tossing away one's rubbish is a normal practice in this culture, the local people selfishly unconcerned about the future of their habitat and the health of their community. Only a few miles from Meedu are islands that serve as holiday resorts where families from Europe travel by air for the perffect vacation - unaware that fly-tipping is so widespread that it threatens this nation's worldwide status as a paradise on earth..

  • Seen from Miradouro de de Santa Luzia, the 'Independence of the Seas' cruise liner dominates the medieval/Moorish district rooftops of Alfama, on 13th July 2016, in Lisbon, Portugal. Pollution from such huge ships is a toxic problem that is growing as the cruise industry and its ships get ever bigger, docking close to communities with narrow streets such as Lisbon. MS Independence of the Seas is a Freedom-class cruise ship operated by the Royal Caribbean cruise line which entered service in April 2008. The 15-deck ship can accommodate 4,370 passengers and is served by 1,360 crew. (Photo by Richard Baker / In Pictures via Getty Images)

  • High up on the buttresses of Westminster Abbey in central London during the mid-90s, new white Portland and Caen stone replaces the blackened materials of old - discoloured after a hundred years of pollution from the capital's industrial revolution and traffic fumes. Portland stone is a limestone from the Tithonian stage of the Jurassic period quarried on the Isle of Portland, Dorset. Westminster Abbey, is a large, mainly Gothic church, in the City of Westminster, London, United Kingdom, located just to the west of the Palace of Westminster. It is the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English, later British and later still (and currently) monarchs of the Commonwealth realms. The abbey is a Royal Peculiar and briefly held the status of a cathedral from 1540 to 1550.

  • On a dark evening in the Welsh countryside eight ventilated hemispherical glasshouses called Solardomes have been 'painted' with gels and with coloured flash strobes while a torch has streaked whiter light in this scientific facility. Replicating climate change and its effects on plant-life, this experiment run by the University of Aberystwyth has run for 20 years, its research being invaluable to our understanding how rising levels of greenhouse gases (CO2) will affect photosynthesis and therefore plant food growth. By increasing the levels of such gasseous pollutants are we now more sure of how the biology in seminatural grasslands alters. Glowing red, the Solardomes sit like futuristic houses on another planet. Surrounding hills are dark on this evening but there is still detail in the fast-fading sky. ..
