Population and environment

Although there may be some short-run increase in pollution due to population increases, the additional pollution is relatively small. And in the long run, pollution is likely to be significantly less due to population growth.

Along with higher income and its consequent greater supply of pollutant comes a greater demand for cleanup, plus an increased capacity to pay for it and greater technical ability to execute the cleanup.
