How does pollution increase?

Pollution increases primarily due to industrial activities, urbanization, and agricultural practices that release harmful substances into the air, water, and soil. The growing population and consumption patterns lead to higher waste generation and resource extraction, exacerbating pollution levels. Additionally, inadequate waste management and regulatory measures contribute to the accumulation of pollutants in the environment. Climate change also plays a role, as it can intensify the effects of pollution and create more favorable conditions for its spread.
