According to a 1983 article in the journal Science, "soot found on the ceilings of prehistoric caves provides ample evidence of high levels of pollution, that was due to insufficient ventilation open fire."Forging of metals appears to be the key turning point in the creation of significant air pollution levels outside the home. Core samples of glaciers in Greenland indicate increases in pollution associated with Greek, Roman and Chinese metal production, but at the time it was relatively less pollution and can be processed by nature.
Modern awareness
Pollution has become a popular issue after World War II, due to the nuclear fallout from the atomic war and testing. Then, the non-nuclear event, the great smog of 1952 in London, killing at least 4000 people.

Smog pollution in Taiwan
Severe pollution incidents has increased the consciousness. PCB dumping in the Hudson River as a result of the ban on the protection of the environment in its consumption of fish in 1974, long contamination with dioxins Love Canal starting in 1947 became national news in 1978 and the 1980 Superfund law has.
