Suffering Environment

With all the new factories, mills and machines being built and invented in this great time of The Industrial Revolution there comes the new issue of pollution. Pollution is not a new concept, it has always lingered before the start of The Industrial Revolution, although there has been a massive spike in the amount of pollution floating through the streets of London. As a result of the ever growing urbanisation, new factories, mills, and machines the pollution created by these has introduced new sources of air and water pollution. Water pollution was know on the banks of the Thames, where there were many industrial building and tanneries. Waste from these buildings along with the flow of waste from London's cesspits, polluted the river. By 1844, salmon could no longer be found the river, this was a food source for many that has now vanished because of the effect on the environment that the Industrial Revolution has triggered. This vile river may not inhabit any fish but was still used to provide for people. This then led to great outbreaks of cholera that shook London. To this day not a salmon or any other sort of fish has been spotted. As the city develops the pollution surrounding London will not improve and the pollution will only worsen.
