Industrial Pollution is a challenge to the maintenance of environment

________THE CAUSES OF IDUSTRIAL POLLUTION ___________

1. Lack of Policies to Control Pollution


Lack of effective policies and poor enforcement drive allowed
many industries to bypass laws made by the pollution control
board, which resulted in mass-scale pollution that affected the
lives of many people.

2. Unplanned Industrial Growth


In most industrial townships, unplanned growth took place
wherein those companies flouted rules and norms and polluted
the environment with both air and water pollution.

3. Use of Outdated Technologies


Most industries still rely on old technologies to produce products
that generate a large amount of waste. To avoid high costs and
expenditure, many companies still make use of traditional
technologies to produce high-end products.

4. Presence of a Large Number of Small


Scale Industries
Many small-scale industries and factories that don’t have
enough capital and rely on government grants to run their day-
to-day businesses often escape environmental regulations and
release a large number of toxic gases into the atmosphere.

5. Inefficient Waste Disposal


Water pollution and soil pollution are often caused directly by
inefficiency in the disposal of waste. Long-term exposure to
polluted air and water causes chronic health problems, making
the issue of industrial pollution a severe one. It also lowers the
air quality in surrounding areas, which causes many respiratory
disorders.

6. Leaching of Resources From Our


Natural World
Raw materials are required in large quantities by industries in
order to produce finished goods. This requires the extraction of
minerals from beneath the earth. The extracted minerals can
cause soil pollution when spilled on the earth. Leaks from
vessels can cause oil spills that may prove harmful to marine
life.

7. Natural Resource Use


Raw materials are a must for industries, which often requires
them to pull out underground elements. One of the most
common forms of leaching from natural resources is fracking for
oil.

When industries extract minerals, the process causes soil


pollution and also causes oil leaks and spills that are harmful
and even deadly to people and animals.

________IDUSTRIAL POLLUTION FACTS____________


Industrial pollution is wreaking havoc on the Earth. Every nation
is affected, and there are people who are working tirelessly to
increase awareness and advocate for change. The activities
causing pollution include:

 Burning coal
 Burning fossil fuels like oil, natural gas, and petroleum
 Chemical solvents used in dyeing and tanning industries
 Untreated gas and liquid waste being released into the
environment
 Improper disposal of radioactive material

_______WHAT IS IDUSTRIAL POLLUTION_______

Industrial pollution is the pollution caused by the industry.


Together with the industrial revolution, more factories and
technologies were developed, which caused a lot of air, land,
and water pollution on our planet. This kind of pollution is one of
the worst because the smoke that the industry emits in the air
contributes a lot to ozone depletion, health problems to both
animals and humans, and global warming.

Furthermore, the waste from these industries is being thrown on


land and water, which causes a lot of health problems as well for
both animals and plants. These industrial pollutants release a lot
of harmful and unnatural chemicals into both soil and water,
which eventually lead to the extinction of some plant and animal
species.
