Population Growth and Environmental Pollution

advanced divider

Interconnection between Population Increase and Pollution:

Rapid population growth contributes to increased environmental pollution through:

• Higher Waste Generation:

More people means more garbage and sewage.

• Increased Resource Consumption:

More consumption of fossil fuels leads to air pollution, and more usage of water can cause water scarcity and pollution.

• Expansion of Urban Areas:

More land is needed for housing, which often comes at the expense of natural areas.
