Industrial Pollution Industrial pollution can be directly linked with industry. Industrial pollution is one of the leading causes of pollution worldwide. Industrial pollution leads back all the way to the Industrial Revolution; the Industrial Revolution mechanized means of production and created a corresponding increase in pollution. It's from the use of fuels like coal. I studied three countries (Jamaica, Haiti, and The Faroe Islands) to figure out their GDP per capita and industrial pollution causes.

I chose Jamaica, Haiti, and The Faroe Islands because they are geographically as well as economically far apart. They all have very different industries, for example, Jamaica's pollution problems somewhat come from telecommunications, light manufactures, and more - Haiti's pollution problems somewhat come from textiles, flour milling, and more - The Faroe Island's pollution problems somewhat come from fishing, handicrafts, and more.



Industries  Jamaica: tourism, bauxite/alumina, agro processing, light manufactures, rum, cement, metal, paper, chemical products,  telecommunications.  Haiti: textiles, sugar refining, flour milling, cement, light assembly based on imported parts  Faroe Islands: Industry: fishing, fish processing, small ship repair and refurbishment, handicrafts Industry Labor Force (Industrial Pollution)  Jamaica: 19%  Haiti: 16%  Faroe Islands: 29% Life Expectancy  Jamaica: 73.45 years  Haiti: 62.17 years  Faroe Island: 79.72 years <span style="color: #9e5eed; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 16px;">GDP Per Capita <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 16px;"> Jamaica: $8,400 <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 16px;"> Haiti: $1,200 <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 16px;"> Faroe Islands: $32,800
