The industrial revolution impacted the environment. The world saw a major increase in population, along with an increase in living standards. This led to the depletion of natural resources.

With factories typically being heat based and burning coals, toxic waste would be built up and ultimately dumped into nearby rivers. Thus creating the pollution of water and air.
