WHAT ARE MAJOR INDUSTRIES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO INDUSTRIAL
POLLUTION? ANALYZE THE CAUSE
![Page 2: What Are Major Industries That Contribute to Industrial Pollution](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050921/553701834a79594b218b4b99/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Industrial pollution is any type of waste that is put into the environment from industries. Industrial pollution is thought to be the main cause of warning in the Arctic region.
Industrial Pollution

Types of Industry pollution
• Air • Noise pollution• Water pollution

Major Industries contributing in Pollution
• Cement, steel industries• Textile manufacturing and processing
industries• Paper industries• Power industries

Cement and Steel Industry
• The second largest cement producer in the world after China .
• Dominated by 20 companies, which account for almost 70% of the total cement production in India.
• In Pollution Category, the Indian Cement Industry is under the “Red" Category which represents highly polluting industries.

Air pollution
• Dust emissions– Particulate release– dust is of a mineral nature with similar constituents to
cement – silica, alumina, iron and calcium compounds• NOx emissions
– (NOx) are generated from fuel combustion at high temperatures
– (NOx) are generated from fuel combustion at high temperatures
– type of fuel and flame temperature used in clinker production will affect the quantity of NOx emissions.

Noise pollution
• Noise upto 100 DB due to use of heavy rollers• Heavy blasting in quarry
![Page 8: What Are Major Industries That Contribute to Industrial Pollution](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050921/553701834a79594b218b4b99/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Impact• Dioxins also affect the immune system, fertility, and the unborn
child.
• Particulates are extremely small particles that enter the lungs directly, as they are too small to be filtered out.
• Heavy metals-Fish are particularly susceptible to accumulating high amounts of these toxins in their tissues, which can then accumulate in the tissues of the birds and mammals who eat them. And ultimately, in humans who eat the contaminated fish and animals.
• 50% to 100% increase in coughing, phlegm, sore throats, and eye irritation in people near the incinerators.

Ways to reduce emissions
• Usage of particulate filters• Better energy efficient technology• Cleaner technology ..

Textile Industry• The textile industry is a significant contributor to many national
economies
• backbone of fashion garment, is large variation in demand of type, pattern and colour combination of fabric resulting into significant fluctuation in waste generation volume and load
• Textile processing generates many waste streams, including liquid, gaseous and solid wastes, some of which may be hazardous.
• Textile industry is characterized by activities such as energy production, dying, sizing, bleaching, printing , chemical storage, etc…

Solid waste pollution
• residual wastes generated from the textile industry are non-hazardous

Impact on environment• The pesticides that farmers use to protect textiles as they grow can harm wildlife, contaminate
other products and get into the food we eat.
• The chemicals that are used to bleach and colour textiles can damage the environment and peoples health.
• Old clothes that we throw away take up precious space in landfill sites, which is filling up rapidly.
• Most of the textile machineries cause noise, sound and air pollution.
• Over-usage of natural resources like plants, water, etc depletes or disturbs ecological balance.
• The working conditions in the textile and clothing industry are of sub- standard.
• Exploitation of animals often goes hand in hand with intensive farming practices that damage the environment as a whole.

Paper industry
![Page 18: What Are Major Industries That Contribute to Industrial Pollution](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050921/553701834a79594b218b4b99/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Causes and effects: • Water Pollution :The waste water is occupied with various toxic chemicals. These hazardous chemicals cause irreparable damage to the aquatic flora
and fauna. It causes Biological Accumulation.
• Air Pollution • Some of the air pollutants released by the paper industry include carbon
dioxide, nitrous oxides, sulfur dioxides, carbon monoxide, ammonia, VOCs and particulate matter like ash and dust.
• These pollutants contribute to the growing environmental concerns such as Ozone Depletion, Acid Rains, and Global Warming.

Contd…• Solid Waste Pollution :Solid waste produced by paper and pulp industries
is disposed in a landfill.• significant risk of trace contaminants accumulating in the soil or running
off into the nearby lakes and rivers or even contaminating the ground water table.
• Deforestation --- Trees may be renewable, but ancient forest plant are often not renewable because of the complex ecological balance which was built over thousands, even millions, of years in some of these forests.

Remedial/ Preventions:
![Page 21: What Are Major Industries That Contribute to Industrial Pollution](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050921/553701834a79594b218b4b99/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Main causes of industrial pollution
• Unregistered small scale units
• Lack of pollution controlled system– Proper operation and maintenance of effluents treatment plant is
critical– But industries do not give importance as it involve expenditure
• Lack of common treatment facility
• Lack of economically viable treatment technology
• Lack of awareness
![Page 22: What Are Major Industries That Contribute to Industrial Pollution](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050921/553701834a79594b218b4b99/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Action plan• Pollution control board should take action to promote cleaner
technologies• Environment audit should be mandatory • Ambient air quality monitoring systems to be set up in areas where there
are cluster of highly air polluting industries• Monitoring stations into industrial area to help assessment of ground
water quality• Recycling industries placed close to existing• Tradable permit system
![Page 23: What Are Major Industries That Contribute to Industrial Pollution](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050921/553701834a79594b218b4b99/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Conclusion :
The entire paper and pulp industry has to view this challenge as the entire industry’s responsibility and formulate appropriate plans to tackle pollution and make suitable use of the existing resources.

Power Industry• 54.09% or 93918.38 MW of
total electricity production in India is from Coal Based Thermal Power Station
• Thermal power plants convert energy rich fuel into electricity and heat.
• Possible fuels include coal, natural gas, petroleum products, agricultural waste and domestic trash / waste.
• TPS in Maharashtra are Bhusawal ,Chandrapur,Kaparkheda Koradi , Nashik , Paras , Parli

Thermal power station
Air Pollution
• Sulphur Dioxide, Oxides of Nitrogen ,SPM carbon dioxide, ozone, mercury vapour are emitted
Water pollution
• Water slurry is used to take the ash • The release of ash into the local
water bodies- water dries up, dust nuisance, increases turbidity, decreases primary productivity, affects fishes and other aquatic biota
![Page 26: What Are Major Industries That Contribute to Industrial Pollution](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050921/553701834a79594b218b4b99/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Noise pollution
The exposure of employees to high noise levels is very high
Increased transportation activities due to the operation of the power plants lead to increase in noise levels in the adjacent localities.
![Page 27: What Are Major Industries That Contribute to Industrial Pollution](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050921/553701834a79594b218b4b99/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Land pollution Large amount of land is used to
dispose flyash from the coal based plants
Due to this there is change in natural soil properties. It becomes more alkaline due to the alkaline nature of fly ash.
Soft bodied soil workers like earthworms will die out
Food will contain a wider cocktail of chemicals as farmers try to correct the poor productivity of crops
