问题    A broad public discussion of environmental problems began in the
mid-1980s, when the first "green" groups formed in opposition to
Erevan’s intense industrial air pollution and to nuclear power generation
in wake of the 1986 reactor explosion at Chernobyl.  Environmental【S1】_________________

closing major industries.
In 1994 three national environmental laws were in effect; the Law
on Environmental Protection, the Basic Law on the Environment, and the

environmental  protection  program  has  emerged,  and  decisions  on
environmental policy have been made on an ad hoc basis.

答案 mean—means
