Industrial development, pollution and disease : the case of Swaziland
This paper attempts to identify problems caused by industrial development in Swaziland; and identify the impact of industrialization on the environment; ascertain the level of corporate responsibility towards the environment by companies; and make recommendations on the management of industrial pollution. Data were drawn from primary and secondary sources, giving a representative selection of industries in Swaziland Findings shows that each industry has its own health hazards which result in certain health problems that require special consideration. The extent to which health problems occur depends on the design of the factory, the awareness of the workforce, the type of raw materials used, and the nature of the final product.
