According to the passage, in spite of the lack of cooperation from industry and governments ____ .

Though there has always been a certain amount of
concern about pollution since the start of the
Industrial Revolution, this was largely an interest of
relatively limited numbers of concerned people. But
during the 1960s there was a great upsurge of anxiety
which was reflected internationally by the calling of
the Stockholm UN Conference. In response to the
rising public pressures, action has been taken mainly
in the industrial countries, even though sometimes
reluctantly and with many warnings from industry and
governments about the costs. However, in many areas
there has been a gratifying improvement.
