This research aimed to study the aspects of pollution problems in the Egyptian countryside in Sharkia Governorate, and it was found that the most important sources of pollution in the rural environment are: the use of chemicals such as fertilizers, pesticides, plant and animal waste, sanitation, and all of these sources have exacerbated the problem of pollution both quantitatively and qualitatively in the rural environment. The study also aimed to analyze the indicators of pollution in the Egyptian rural environment through a study of the most important sources of pollution, the most important of which is the use of chemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides, as well as sewage and plant and animal waste, and to determine the most appropriate policies and production programs that can be followed to reduce pollution sources. The study relied on published and unpublished secondary data from its official sources for the period (2000-2018) and treated them with appropriate statistical methods. The simple regression method was used to estimate the functional relationships in the linear form and the temporal trend. The results of the study resulted in a statistically significant increase in the global consumption of nitrogenous fertilizers annually by one million tons, while there was a statistically significant decrease in the local consumption by 293 thousand tons. As for the available global consumption of agricultural pesticides, it was found that there is a statistically significant increase of 81 million tons. That is, an annual increase in the value of pesticides consumed in Egyptian agriculture is about 2% of the annual average during the study period, and an annual increase in the availability for local consumption was found by 0.473 thousand tons, an annual increase rate of about 5.12% of the annual average during the study period 2000-2018. There is also a statistically significant annual increase in the total amount of agricultural pesticides consumed globally about (0.829 million tons), i.e. an annual average increase in the value of pesticides consumed in Egyptian agriculture about 3.22% of the annual average during the study period.
