Industrial Development and Environmental Pollution

 In the civilized third world like ours, industrialization is a must. Without the industrial development a nation cannot show its proper identity. But in the blind race of industrialization people forget the adverse effect of it on our environment. We should realize it to survive in this beautiful planet.

Industrialization to achieve economic development has resulted in global environmental degradation. While the impacts of industrial activity on the natural environmental are a major concern in developed countries, much less is known about these impacts in developing countries.

The developing world is often seen as having a high percentage of heavily polluting activities within its industrial sector. This, combined with a substantial agricultural sector, which contributes to deforestation, the erosion of the top soil and desertification, has head to extreme pressures on the environment and impoverishes the population by destroying its natural resource base. The crisis suggests that sound industrialization policies are of paramount importance in a developing countries economic development, and calls for the management of natural resources and the adoption of low-waste or environmentally clean technologies.
