N2  - A pollution problem of major proportion is now surfacing in the "black triangle" where Poland, Czechoslovakia and Germany meet. Eastern Germany has Europe's biggest concentration of uranium mines outlined by slag heaps which loom over the local towns. In northern Czechoslovakia vast open coal mines stretch as far as the eye can see. Power stations emit thick sulphurous smoke, defoliating the forests. The toll on the health of people in the neighboring towns is staggering. One in ten children is born with a birth defect. Although people are now able to express their opposition to dangerous practices, there are no easy solutions to meeting energy needs while safeguarding the environment.
