Conventions, agreements and other documents

The industrial revolution and technological progress have brought tremendous progress to humanity, but at the same time a great burden and degradation of the environment:

- pollution of water (oceans, seas, rivers, streams, lakes, groundwater), soil and air
- noise generation,
- the extinction of wilderness and wildlife,
- global warming,
- loss of biodiversity, etc.

Industrial activities that cause pollution include burning coal, burning fossil fuels, chemical industrial solvents for dyeing and tanning, untreated gaseous and liquid wastes released into the environment, improper disposal of radioactive material, etc.

In ways such as:

- the correct and appropriate method of disposing of industrial waste,
- recycling,
- habitat restoration and afforestation,
- the most appropriate choice of location for the setting up of the industry,
- cleaning and control of resources,
- regular environmental impact assessments of industry,
- stricter and more precise environmental legislation at local, regional, national and global levels and tighter enforcement, etc.,

together, at local, regional, national and global levels, we can work together to reduce the impact of industrial pollution on the environment and human and animal health.

International regulations relating to industrial pollution cover various areas - these are international conventions and agreements in the field of
- water,
- the coast and the marine environment,
- air,
- noise,
- soil,
- waste and recycling,
- chemicals, etc.
