Solution

Unplanned industrial growth

Explanation:

Industrial pollution is primarily caused by unplanned industrial growth which leads to the improper disposal of industrial wastes, lack of pollution control measures, and uncontrolled emissions. Modern technologies and efficient waste disposal, on the other hand, help in reducing pollution, so they are not causes of pollution itself. Unplanned growth results in pollution due to inadequate regulations and infrastructure to handle waste properly.
