Industrialization vs. Protection of Environment

Industrialization is the process in which a society or country (or world) transforms itself from

a primarily agricultural society into one based on the manufacturing of goods and services.

Individual manual labor is often replaced by mechanized mass production and craftsmen arereplaced by assembly lines. Characteristics of industrialization include the use of 

technological innovation to solve problems as opposed to superstition or dependency upon

conditions outside human control such as the weather, as well as more efficient division of 

labor and economic growth.

With rapid industrialization air pollution, greenhouse gases emission, global warming,

climatic disasters, water shortages, drinking water contamination, freshwater and marine

 pollution, deforestation, and other environmental problems are becoming serious threats to

the wellbeing of mankind in this age of industrialization. here are various wide!ranging

effects, as well as serious conse"uences, of industrial pollution on the ecological balance of the atmosphere.

With the industrialization developing rapidly, the technology and the economy are turning out

to be e#traordinarily advanced. $eople%s life comes to be comfortable than before.

&owever, the tendency people cannot ignore is that the environment on the earth is now

changing to worse. he industrialization not only brings economic developments but also

loads of negative sides to mankind such as global warming, air pollution and water 

 pollution.

  'irst of all, industrialization developments give rise to greenhouse gases which include

carbon dio#ide and methane. series of conse"uences are caused by high content of the

greenhouse gases. he content of carbon dio#ide in the air and temperature are rising. he

earth is not appropriate for human being to live anymore when it rises up to a certain e#tent

one day. 'urthermore, what serious results greenhouse gases bring about is ice thawing and

ocean levels rising and coastal pain flooded. It is time that scores of trees should be

supposed to be planted and being green like using fewer cars more walking is strongly

advocated. ore environment friendly fuels should be used in the vehicles and most

important of all there is an acute need of replacing fossil fuel by green energy sources.

  nd global warming is not the only one conse"uence of industrialization development. In

the second place, it also produces copious numbers of harmful gases that contributes to air 

 pollution. 'urthermore, car%s emission which makes the air not as fresh as before is also the

chief culprit to this pollution. *ven though air is such a significant ob+ect to mankind

making people feels comfortable, numerous industries which have no strainers burning the

coal release e#haust gases which contain sulfur o#ides and nitrogen o#ides. hese acid

gases will lead to acid rain which is severe air pollution destroying the structure of soil.

&ence all industries must implement mechanisms to purify the gases so as to nullify the effectof the harmful gases of must find a way for the safe disposal of the materials.

With the rapid industrialization, fast depletion of the natural resources and raw material has

also been emerging as a ma+or effect. apid industrialization calls for more energy hence

deforestation and e#cessive use of non!renewable resources also has been serious problem. If 

the natural non!renewable resources are depleted at this rate after few decades there will be

none left for us and our future generation to use. We must ensure that the resource use issustainable and find a better alternative for the energy such that the deforestation is

minimized.

o protect the environment not only the government but the people must also be aware and

strict rules and regulation must be implemented against industrial pollution to minimize it.
