INDUSTRIAL WASTE
“ We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as
a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.
~ Aldo Leopold
Introduction
Pollution from industry, households, vehicles and farms causes health
problems for people and for animals. It can affect both the air and the quality
of water in rivers, lakes and seas.
Industrial Pollution
Industrial pollution is pollution which can be directly linked with industry, in
contrast to other pollution sources. This form of pollution is one of the leading
causes of pollution worldwide.
Global Warning
Global warming is one of the most common and serious consequences of
industrial pollution. The emission of various greenhouse gases such as CO2,
methane, increases the overall temperature of the earth, resulting in global
warming.
Pollution Control
Pollution control is a term used in environmental management. It means the
control of emissions and effluents into air, water or soil. Without pollution control
the waste products from consumption, heating, agriculture, mining,
manufacturing, transportation and other human activities, whether they
accumulate or disperse, will degrade the environment.
Water pollution and soil pollution are often caused directly due to
inefficiency in the disposal of waste. Long term exposure to polluted Ⅳ
air and water causes chronic health problems, making the issue of
industrial pollution into a severe one. It also lowers the air quality in
surrounding areas, which causes many respiratory disorders.
Many small scale industries and factories that don’t have enough
Ⅴ capital and rely on government grants to run their day-to-day
businesses often escape environment regulations and release a large
number of toxic gases in the atmosphere.
