Many people all over the world are eager to embrace new technologies. This is because the advances in technology have been seen as the remedy of the world’s economy and the problem of poor production. New technologies have been applied in many sectors such as communication, transportation, construction, and other commercial departments. The new technologies are thus rapidly being exploited to high degrees in search of better survival means. (Borrego, 1998).
Many industries have been using new technologies of computers for control purposes for their machine. This is meant to ensure that it is consistent in operation throughout their working processes. Many of these industries using new technologies of production try to control the emission of pollutants to the environment. However, some new technologies have impacted negatively to the environmental conditions.
For instance, some new technologies of machines emit air pollutants at greater rates that exceed the limit of the international standards. It is also observed that many new technologies of machines produce complex pollutants that have been proved hard in the process of cleaning them from the environment. (Brilon, 1999).
On the other hand, new technologies have been of great benefits in the control and monitoring process of environmental conditions. New technologies of atomic substances have been used in the investigation of measures to control harmful gas emissions of sulfur, carbon monoxides, and others gases from machines and automobiles. Generally, new technologies are being applied in controlling and analyzing pollutants from water, air, soils, and sounds. The advantages or disadvantages of any particular new technology depend entirely on its use and the consequences of its disposal to the environment. (Brilon, 1999).
