Industry has affected the ecosystem in three main ways.

  • the development of manufacturing areas and transportation systems within natural habitats
  • the diversion and use of Natural Resources including water
  • the pollution of the environment (mostly air and water) with toxic manufacturing waste products

Labor Resources

Peripherally to the development of factories and transportation routes, the growth of cities displaced wildlife as residential areas were constructed. This further increased the use of resources and pollution.
