<jats:p>In literature, several core studies have addressed the effects of industries in general, and the investments in Qualified Industrial Zones (QIZ) on the environment, adding up to the pollution risks resulting from these investments. What distinguish this study is that it dealt with investments in the QIZ in Jordan and its risks on the environment beside some other sectors that participate in polluting the environment such as the production sector represented by the GDP, the population sector, and the number of vehicles used during the study period that covered 1999 to 2017. This study used the ordinary least squares (OLS) method to examine the impact of investments in QIZ on the quality of the environment and its imbalances. It’s found that there is a clear negative effect of investments in the QIZ on the environment quality in Jordan in addition to the negative impact that is not less risky on the environment created by the other sectors.</jats:p>
