Explanation of Solution

In a country like India, the pollution problems are mostly visible on public health due to the sanitation and waste disposal. In most communist countries like China, the commitment to industrialization and absence of forums to express the real interests of people together will reduce the pollution from industrial waste.  The major problems faced by the countries like New York City are population, extreme level of industrialization, and traffic. Even though, the country concerns about environment, such problems will lead to higher atmosphere pollution, noise pollution, and crowding.
