Urban Pollution History

Urban pollution history examines how cities have contributed to environmental degradation over time. As urban areas grew, industrial activities, transportation, and waste produced increasing amounts of air, water, and soil pollutants. This led to health problems, social challenges, and efforts to address these issues, such as sanitation reforms and environmental regulations. Understanding this history helps us recognize the ongoing challenges cities face and the importance of sustainable practices to protect both public health and the environment. By learning from the past, we can work towards healthier urban spaces for future generations.
