Why do some african governments ignore industrial pollution of major rivers and waterways? question 1 options: most government officials do not recognize pollution as a problem. the people of most countries do not care about pollution. industries always have plans in place to clean up polluting wastes. they want the industries to be profitable to the economy.

The correct answer is They want the industries to be profitable to help the economy.

They understand how troublesome the industry can be and why pollution is wrong, but without it there would be no way to boost African economy which is at many times full of different issues even when not caring about pollution. If they stopped it completely then there would be even fewer ways for African countries to develop.
