13、rved.Scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the University of Washington have found that the warm ocean “blob” caused a harmful algae bloom.

21、ize how close they are to air pollution sources because they cannot see them. “One of the difficulties of getting the message across to the public at large these days is that air pollution, although its a major public health problem, is actually invisible.
