Despite the obvious advantages of city life, living in a modern city may come with its own challenges. One of these is pollution. In recent years, there have been more efforts to address the issue of pollution in city environments. However, I think that cities tend to still be remarkably more polluted in terms of smog, for instance, compared to the countryside.
