Human beings have created industries that produce the quality life that we demand. Pollution from industry also presents great danger to the planet that may eventually outweigh the good that is done. Hopefully the ingenuity that has led to the creation of industry will be applied successfully to the elimination of the pollution problems.
Industrialization began in the eighteenth century but only reached insane levels during the cold war period after the Second World War. This was when political dictators vied for industrial domination. In China, Mao Tse Tung ordered the destruction of insects and birds so that they could not interfere with industrial progress. In Russia the frenetic erection of sub-standard industrial complexes endangered the political system it sought to promote.
People believed that science would be the key to political domination. If science and technology could be used to achieve industrial and military progress rule a glorious new world would unfold. This was the thinking behind blunders that destroyed the system it sought to promote and created terrible dangers for future generations.
Azerbaijan was formerly a part of the Soviet Union and a centre of the chemical industry. Industrial and agricultural chemicals have contaminated the soil, vegetation and water supplies in the region. Cancer rates in the population exceed those experienced almost anywhere else. It is thought that this is a direct result of industrial spoilage.
The nuclear fall-out at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, was another product of Russian industrialization and the inhabitants Dzerzhinsk, also in Russia, have the lowest life-expectancy rate in the world because they suffer from various cancers caused by heavy metals such as mercury and by chemicals.
Cities like Kabwe, in Zambia, and La Oraya, in Peru are also heavily polluted with lead. This heavy metal is said to have brought down the Roman Empire because it was in the water supplied to Romans in lead pipes. The mines operated by American and British owned companies implicate these countries as well. When Americans attempt to blame British owned BP for oils spills it is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
China and India have been developing their industries rapidly and seem to have gone through the same phases of reckless expansion that afflicted America and Britain at the beginning of the twentieth century. In both countries heavy metals contaminate water supplies and carbon emissions from factories and cars cause heavy smog around cities like black rings around the eyes. Pollution from industry is at heart a human problem because it is caused by human inadequacy.
