La atmospheric pollution it is really important in Europe. The European Environment Agency made a list of the most polluting industrial companies on the continent.
This report seeks to show how each company collaborates with the general level of pollution in Europe.
Of which 45 Spanish companies are among the most polluting. There are 600 industries that generate 75% of all air pollution on the continent.
Some of the most polluting Spanish companies are: the Litoral de Carboneras thermal power plant in Almería in position 57. Then in position 70 the Aboño thermal power plant in Gijón, the thermal plant As Pontes in Asturias at 83 on the list, the Avilés y Guijón steel company at 89.
Regarding the most polluting items, there are the producers of Energy, then cement, chemical and metallurgical companies.
As can be deduced from this report, a few companies produce enormous pollution, so if you want it can be controlled and reduced, but a political decision is required.
Energy producers are one of the biggest responsible for European and even global pollution, which is why there is so much emphasis on the production of renewable energy to reduce this source of pollution.
These 45 Spanish companies that pollute so much not only damage the environment but also alter the health of the population, generating high costs for the states.
Industries really have to be more controlled and forced to use cleaner technology and even to reconversion of it to reduce your emissions drastically.
If each country succeeds in stopping its highly polluting companies, everyone will benefit.
Much remains to be done but at least today we already know the name and where the most polluting companies in Europe are.
