Abstaining from regulations against pollution

Doing without adequate regulations against pollution

Description

Abstaining from regulations against pollution involves deliberately choosing not to implement, enforce, or strengthen legal controls on pollutant emissions and environmental contaminants. This strategy is often pursued to prioritize economic growth, reduce regulatory burdens, or attract investment. Its practical intent is to remove compliance costs for industries, but it may also be used as a remedy to perceived overregulation. However, this approach risks exacerbating environmental degradation and public health problems by allowing unchecked pollution.
