Pollution issues in Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) are generated from the activities associated with the production of petroleum products such as ammonia (NH4), urea ([NH2]2CO) and fertilisers. Problems are also caused by construction activities and by the manufacturing of products such as rum, soap, paint and wood. Moreover, contamination of water sources by pesticides and herbicides, as well as atmospheric pollution from industrial and vehicle emissions also aggravate the environment.
