Answer 1

Answer:

"Exporting pollution" occurs when a country reduces its domestic pollution, but increases imports that cause pollution in other countries.

Explanation:

Exporting pollution is a commercial and environmental process through which the most developed countries send their most polluting companies to produce their goods to underdeveloped countries. These companies, generally industrial, transfer their production of carbon dioxide and other polluting gases to these countries, which receive large employers and economic benefits but in turn accept higher rates of contamination in their territories.
