Soil pollution:
Textile wastage pollutes the soil. Soil is the
most important medium for growing plants,
bushes , crops etc. The quality of crops
depends upon the quality of soil.
So, when the quality of soil decreases due to
industrial effluent, the amount and quality of
crops also decreases . Its also seen that, the
lowe lands becomes more polluted than the
higher lands. Because, the effluents ultimately
deposited in the lower lands.
Water pollution
The textile industry uses high
volumes of water throughout its
operations, from the washing of
fibres to bleaching, dyeing and
washing of finished products. On
average, approximately 200
Litres of water are required to
Produce 1 kg of textiles .
The large volumes of
Waste water generated also
contain a wide variety of chemicals, used throughout processing.
These can cause damage if not properly treated before being
discharged into the environment. Of all the steps involved I n
Textiles processing, wet processing creates the highest volume of Waste
water.
Air pollution :
Most processes performed in textile mills produce
atmospheric emissions. Gaseous emissions have been
identified as the second greatest pollution problem for
the textile industry. Speculation concerning the
amounts and types of air pollutants emitted from
textile operations have been widespread but, generally,
air emission data for textile manufacturing operations
are not readily available. Air emissions include dust, oil
mists, acid vapours, odours and boiler exhausts.
Cleaning and production changes result in sludges
from tanks and spent process chemicals, which may
contain toxic organics and metals
Air emissions can be classified according to the nature
of their sources:
Point sources:
• Boilers
• Ovens
• Storage tanks
Diffusive:
• Solvent-based
• Wastewater treatment
• Warehouses
• Spills
Reducing air pollution Some steps to
reduce the emissions to air include: –
Decreasing emissions of organic solvents by changing to
water-based products.
Using scrubbers to collect particulate matter.
Optimising boiler operations to reduce the emissions of
nitrous and sulphur oxides.
Pre-screening chemicals using the material safety data sheets
to ensure that chemicals are not toxic.
Identifying sources of air pollution and quantifying emissions.
Designing and manufacturing products that do not produce
toxic or hazardous air pollutants.
Avoiding fugitive air emissions from chemical spills through
improved work
Solid waste pollution
The primary residual wastes
generated from the textile industry are
non-hazardous. These include scraps
of fabric and yarn, off-specification
yarn and fabric and packaging waste.
There are also wastes associated with
the storage and production of yarns
and textiles, such as chemical storage
drums, cardboard reels for storing
fabric and cones used to hold yarns for
dyeing and knitting. Cutting room
waste generates a high volume fabric
scraps, which can often be reduced by
increasing fabric utilisation efficiency
in cutting and sewing.
Impacts of solid waste on environment
Waste breaks down in landfills to form
methane, a potent greenhouse gas
Change in climate and destruction of ozone
layer due to waste biodegradable
Littering, due to waste pollutions, illegal
dumping, leaching: is a process by which solid
waste enter soil and ground water and
contaminating them

Things to Do
By Increasing Awareness
If we want to reduce the bad impacts of Textile affluent on
environment we should be aware of the bad effects of the
Efftuent. The authority of the Textile industry should be
aware of it. The authorities always look for their benefits,
but they should also look for the healthy environment.
