Pollution Control and Sustainable Environment

Pollution prevention reduces the amount of pollution generated by industry, agriculture, or consumers. In contrast to pollution control strategies which seek to manage a pollutant after it is emitted and reduce its impact upon the environment, the pollution prevention approach seeks to increase efficiency of a process, reducing the amount of pollution generated at its source. Although there is wide agreement that source reduction is the preferred strategy, some professionals also use the term pollution prevention.
