Question

Compare the following and give example: 

Industrialisation and air pollution

Answer in Brief

Solution

Industrialisation leads to set up of huge factories which produce goods on a large scale. Along with this, there is production of large amount of waste which is generally untreated as the factories find it expensive to treat it and then release. This leads to increase in air pollution as toxic gases are released through chimneys. e.g. Delhi, Faridabad, and Varanasi are experiencing significant air pollution due to growing industrialization.
