Cause & Effect
Passage:
"Due to the increasing levels of air pollution in the city, many residents have developed respiratory problems. Since the industrial factories have been emitting large amounts of smoke and chemicals into the air, the quality of air has significantly deteriorated. As a result, the local government has implemented stricter regulations on factory emissions. Therefore, some factories have had to reduce their production rates to comply with the new laws, leading to a decrease in pollution levels."
