From the point of environmental pollution, which pollution is more serious, industry or agriculture?

Of course, industrial pollution is very large, and the types of industrial pollution are far more than agricultural pollution. In contrast, agricultural pollution is more about water quality and land pollution, and industrial pollution is coupled with the atmosphere. In other words, agricultural pollution is actually caused by industrial development.

Agriculture is divided into traditional agriculture and modern agriculture. Traditional agriculture not only refers to manpower, animal power and hand tools, but also refers to traditional plant ash, human and animal fertilizers. These fertilizers completely belong to the natural ecological cycle and will not pollute the ecology. Modern agriculture is the product of the combination of industry and science and technology. It uses not only large-scale combined machinery, but also industrial fertilizers and pesticides. The agricultural pollution we are talking about now mainly refers to the pollution of land and water by chemical fertilizers and pesticides, so in a broad sense, agricultural pollution also comes from industry.

In addition, there is an important aspect of modern agricultural pollution-white garbage pollution, such as pesticide bottles, fertilizer bags, fruit plastic bags, agricultural plastic films, reflective films and so on. , will cause environmental pollution, especially in plain peanut planting areas and hilly fruit bagging areas. After years of accumulation, there is a lot of white garbage in both the water body and the surrounding land, and even many plastic films are scattered on the trees in the surrounding mountains. All white garbage is the product of industrial development.

Finally, some people may say that in the process of agricultural production, there will be the phenomenon of burning straw and burning wasteland. When burning straw in North China and Northeast China at a certain time every year, it will produce a lot of harmful gases, and the visibility is even less than 10 meter at the worst. There is no denying that the pollution of burning straw to the surrounding atmosphere is really serious, but it is also a drop in the bucket compared with industrial gas emissions.

We don't even need to count all kinds of data. Let's simply compare the sky in the 1950s and 1960s with the sky now. Although straw was burned in the fifties and sixties, there was little haze. Now, almost every big city has smog every spring, especially in North China and Northeast China. Smog is normal for a week in a row, so industrial pollution is more serious than agricultural pollution in any way.
