Essentially, environmental pollution ascribes to the release of toxic matter to the surrounding land, air, and water by individuals and industries. Apart from poor disposal of industrial wastes, overexploitation of various environmental resources is still one of the biggest causes of pollution in developing countries. The effects of environmental pollution are deeply rooted in these countries because the policies that require the use of current environmental prevention and control measures are not well established. Basically, the impacts of environmental toxic wastes comprise of damage to human or animal and environmental health issue (Ezzati & Kammen, 2012). Nonetheless, these effects can be prevented or controlled in developing countries using current or future prevention and control measures. Comment by Jim & Carol: Vague – it is important to be as concrete as possible.
Thesis
The effects of environmental pollution can be prevented in developing countries using current or future prevention and control measures. Comment by Jim & Carol: Vague
Explanations
(i) Environmental pollution has become more rampant in developing countries since the existing environmental pollution prevention and control measures are not effective enough, some are yet to be implemented.
(ii) The effects of environmental pollution are on the rise; it’s more than just a health issue (Ezzati & Kammen, 2012). Comment by Jim & Carol: No Contractions
(iii) The research paper will seek to analyze how environmental pollution has impacted on human health and the environment, as well as the current or future pollution prevention and control measures that can be adopted by the developing countries during the current period of rapid economic growth. Comment by Jim & Carol: Don’t announce. Just list the three points you will develop in the body. What are the method? List each one clearly. You are writing a problem solution paper. The first part of your paper should examine the problem. The second part of your paper should examine some of the possible solutions. 1. 2. 3.
Sub-Points
Key sub-points in the research paper will include:
(i) Forms of environmental pollution; sources of environmental pollution will be described briefly. Comment by Jim & Carol: These are the details you will use for the main points listed above. At this point, you should have some source interaction.
(ii) Effects of environmental pollution on human health and the environment.
(iii) Current or future pollution prevention and control measures in developing countries.
- Practices
- Pollution control devices
- Pollution prevention and control technologies
Possible Objections
Opponents of various initiatives for environmental pollution control and prevention argue that industrial wastes and other pollutants are an indication of economic growth. Also, some are of the opinion that prevention and control of pollution is a costly venture; it’s a natural process that shouldn’t be interfered with (Spilker, 2012). The prevailing emphasis on economic growth and profits in developing countries at the expense of public health is another possible objection to the current or future prevention and control measures in developing countries by politicians. Also, some people assert exposure to indoor air pollution from solid fuels in developing countries shouldn’t be included as one of the causes of environmental pollution (Ezzati & Kammen, 2012). Comment by Jim & Carol: Don’t feel as though you have to address every opposing view, just a couple of the main ones.
Response to Objections
Use the word “however” as lead in response to objections.
Objections to environmental protection are numerous, nevertheless, it’s often more profitable to businesses compared to the funding that will be required to deal with its effects. Continuous modernization of pollution control devices is important, regardless of the costs involved (Liaquat, et.al. 2010). This is actually the true indication of economic growth that the key stakeholders should learn to consider as true because the quality of the environment matters a lot. Although it’s hard to change the existing situation in the developing countries, the governments of the concerned countries should take the initiative of enacting and enforcing the most appropriate environmental protection laws. This will help address the problem of overemphasis on profits by various stakeholders in their economies. Politicians must be held responsible for their actions (Khator, 2013). Comment by Jim & Carol: Some comma splices are evident. Also, unless part of a quote, do not use contractions.

The environmental problems of developing countries are demonstrated by this article, which is basically a report of health and environmental effects associated with the use of non-renewable energy sources. Anwar, 2009, asserts that the Government of Egypt (as one of the most affected developing countries) has introduced new policies that comprise of inter-sectorial collaboration, risk minimization, treatment of pollutants at source, and law enforcement mitigation procedures.
Ezzati, M., & Kammen, D. M. (2012). The Health Impacts of Exposure to Indoor Air Pollution from Solid Fuels in Developing Countries: Knowledge, Gaps, and Data Needs. Environmental Health Perspectives, 110(11), 1057.
The health impacts of exposure to indoor air pollution in developing countries are addressed by Ezzati & Kammen, 2002, particularly from combustion of solid fuels like coal. Successful intervention strategies based on preventive measures and policies are put into the perspective of environmental protection through pollution control.
Khator, R. (2013). Environment As A Political Issue In Developing Countries: A Study Of Environmental Pollution In India–A Viewpoint. International Journal Of Environmental Studies, 23(2), 105.
This is an article provides great insight into the politicization of environmental protection measures in developing countries, as well as the effects of this move on the environmental policy outputs. According to Khator, 2013, environmental pollution prevention and control strategies have not achieved the much needed “politicization,” in most developing countries.

Developing countries are currently facing severe energy insecurity, especially renewable energy. Liaquat, et.al., 2010, is an article which reveals how economic growth has encouraged air pollution in the road transport sector. Effects of air pollution are also cited by this source, but it recommends the use of biofuel powered automotives as the best solution. This environmental pollution is also touted as the best way for the developing countries to create more jobs and increase productivity through expansion of biofuel industries.

This is an article which examines how intergovernmental organizations help developing countries enhance their initiatives for environmental performance through promotion of the general idea for environmental sustainability. It also provides ideas on how developing countries can adopt the modern technologies that can be applied for the sole purpose of environmental pollution control and prevention.
