In the recent decades, developing nations aim to industrialize and grow sustainably often ignoring environmental consequences. However, few empirical studies have looked at influence of industrialization-driven economic transition on marine pollution, in particular post trade openness. This paper analyzes nexus between openness, industrialization, pollution. The study uses time series data (1995–2022) applies quantile regression analyze impact openness industrialization finding this suggested that a significant positive Trade activities rapid towards enforced large industrial inputs resulting general, wastewater contains heavy metals, organic compounds, toxic chemicals, causes pollution disturb life if not treated properly.
