Abstract
Within the last two decades, there has been a gradual change in our conceptualization of the environment. This change has occurred due to a parallel evolution in the nature and scale of environmental problems experienced. Until the second half of the 70’s, the majority of the problems we faced were of a local nature; thus, we could then be content with local solutions and remedies. In time, environmental pollution adopted a spatial nature, ranging from regional problems to the recent ones of a global nature.
