The cost of chemical waste disposal generated by companies creates the incentive to pollute — either they spend the money to dispose of the waste safely or they discharge it in an unsafe manner that contaminates the environment, including drinking water.
A company’s improper handling of its waste can result in the contamination of an entire town’s water supply. Oil spills into coastal waters can affect workers in the tourism and fishing industries. And man-made chemicals found in the environment can cause adverse health effects.
Economic impacts of environmental pollution are devastating; the health consequences can be deadly.
