Answer:
The Industrial Revolution was the beginning of the large-scale urbanization seen today. It also created huge factories that create most of the everyday products used today. Both of these things have contributed to the pollution that affects the environment today. While factories do produce much of what we need they also create air pollution from the mass amounts of fossil fuels used. Additionally, urbanization has led to urban sprawl, which also contributes to pollution. It also increases the amount the average family spends on transportation.
