THE EFFECTS OF URBANIZATION ON THE ENVIRONMENT
Abstract
Our synthesis of the published scientific literature shows complexity and diversity of environmental effects of urbanization on the natural components and ecological systems: excessive loads on the lithosphere of the city and its surface manifest; The consequences of water use in the city; consequences of atmospheric pool pollution by city transport and plants there are acid precipitation; «heat islands»; dust content of the atmosphere and climate change; impact associated with the load on the landscape; alienation of land for waste dumps; the effects of electromagnetic radiation, noise, vibration, light and information pollution of the environment.
