(IsraelNN.com) An annual environmental study presented to President Moshe Katsav paints a discouraging picture regarding environmental realities.

The report states that a growing number of Israelis no longer trust the integrity of tap water and 72% of the population drinks bottled water. The study also points to growing concerns pertaining to the alarming increase in the placement of unauthorized cellular telephone antennas around the country due to health hazards associated with the antennas‚ electromagnetic emissions.

The report also cites the bleak realities surrounding the bottle deposit law, stating that most bottles are not recycled and the program has been a failure since its inception.

Environmentalists speak of an overall deteriorating state regarding the national environment, calling for more aggressive policies to protect natural resources.
