There is a view by scientists that the situation is getting even worse and there is a necessity for it to be reduced. (2) _____________________________________________.
Firstly, one of the major causes is that of air pollution from petrol and diesel vehicles. (3) _________________________________________. In recent times, there have been steps to change to electric vehicles, but this switch has been very slow-moving.
