Dr Francisco J. Guemez Ricalde

Abstract :

 

India is a country with a government committed to the goals of economic growth to achieve a better welfare for its population. However, the foregoing leads to a high level of pollution because of the use of fossil fuels in a 72.4 per cent of the times to try to reach to supply electrical energy and better levels of quality of life to the Hindus. The projected figures show that India is at an early stage of economic growth according to the level indicated by the curve of KutznetzCITATION Kuz55 l 2058  (Kuznets, 1955), India therefore must pay a high social cost, the contamination. The growth of the population and of the vehicles will also be a key factor in this topic. India also represents a global environmental risk and is in the worst conditions of environmental efficiency in the use of fossil fuels for the achievement of economic growth. This is evidenced by the results presented here.
