Effects of Technology and Industrial Development on Natural Environment

At the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century, natural resources around the world have been severely damaged due to extensive industrial efforts to achieve a better economy. This type of development, which has reached its peak in the last century, is unstable because it has violated its goals, which are more comfort and better economy for human beings. Environmental contamination, whether in important issues such as weather and soil or in other matters, has led to various illnesses and diseases, and has seriously threatened the healthy life and comfort of humans. The result of these industrial efforts and the unbridled consumption of fossil fuels has not only contributed to environmental pollution in the world's cities, but also the issue of climate change and global warming has shown the worldwide scale of environmental issues. The haphazard and limitless growth of industry and environment threatens our lives and our children’s, and it is evident that the destruction of the environment does not affect only one country, but it will have global effects. This is why the International Standard Organization ISO, along with other relevant global and regional organizations, is committed to protecting the environment. The necessity of maintaining the cleanliness of the environment and preventing its further contamination is nowadays considered as a global goal and is followed by international institutions and various human societies at the global level, and each society takes measures in different dimensions and in various fields where there is a risk of environmental pollution, and all of these activities are for the aim of protecting the environment for today’s human being as well as for the future.
