Transportation and

Communication• The Industrial Revolution was also characterized by

advances in transportation and communication.• Transcontinental Railroad: U.S. railroad running

from the east to west coast• The increase in railroads allowed goods to be shipped

faster and cheaper. • Telegraph: Samuel Morse perfected it using a

system called Morse Code• Telephone: Alexander Graham Bell; by 1900 (30

years after its invention), 1.5 million telephones were in use.

Citarum River

(Indonesia)• Most polluted river today!• 5 million people live in

this basin• Used to support

agriculture, water supply, fishery, industry, sewerage and electricity

• More than 500 factories line the river and dump toxic waste into the water

• Also the source of water for the main profit…… rice!

Environmental Effects of

Industrialization

How an industrialized world impacted air, water, and land

Environmental Problems - Air

• With the race for industrialization, many countries began to exploit their natural resources (especially coal, oil, and gas) all with little regard to the environment.

• Coal was needed to power the steam engines that would run machines and trains, but coal also released huge amounts of carbon into the atmosphere.

• The combination of smoke and fog produced smog, which was visible as a thick blanket over cities.

• This caused thousands of deaths due to respiratory diseases.

Environmental Problems - Water

• Water was another prime resource used for running machines in factories.

• Factories dumped toxic industrial waste into nearby rivers.

• Due to dense populations, the cities had no proper system of sewage disposal, so rivers were also contaminated for personal use.

• During the Industrial Revolution, there was no running water – everything came from rivers; therefore, the contaminated, toxic, filthy, sewage water was also used as drinking water.

• This caused water-borne diseases like cholera or typhoid fever to wipe out a huge portion of the population. (Especially the working class).

Environmental Problems - Land

• With large amounts of populations moving to the cities for work, land was being exploited to build homes or more factories.

• This meant cutting down forest areas and loss of natural habitats.

• Many factories used empty space as land fills for their trash and toxic waste.

• This lead to a spread of disease

CLOSURE• Explain the advantages and disadvantages of the

Industrial Revolution.

Immigration during the Industrial Revolution

Immigration• The Industrial Revolution

creates a wave of immigration to the United States. Why? How did advanced industry lead to mass migration?

• Like many Americans, immigrants felt cities were a new source of opportunity.

• Between 1880 and 1920 about 25 million immigrants entered the U.S. – about half of the total population!

Immigration• In the 1900’s where do

you think people were immigrating from?

• Before 1890: Northern and Western Europe (England, Ireland, Germany)

• Between 1890-1920: Southern and Eastern Europe (Italy, Poland, Russia)
