Pollution control is the dirty side of the clean tech business.  In order for us to breathe clean air, for example, we have to remove the waste created by our industrial processes.

Entrepreneurs working to solve the problem of pollution will leverage the support of enforceable environmental laws.

China especially is in need of environmental solutions because the number one cause of death in China is industrial contamination of its air and water.

The majority of the fish found in the world’s oceans now contain levels of mercury too high for daily human consumption.  Pollution is not a problem, therefore, for one country alone.

In the case of every kind of pollution, there exists a tremendous opportunity to clean up our air and water by installing efficient scrubbers in our waste streams, and incorporating cleaning mechanisms within all new technologies.  Such measures will also open new sources of jobs and boost economic development in faltering old-school industries.
