Industrial Pollution
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.
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
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.
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
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
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:
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
Conclusion :
The entire paper and pulp industry has to view this challenge as the entire industrys 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
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
Noise pollution
The exposure of employees
activities due to the operation of the power plants lead to increase in noise levels in the adjacent localities.
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
Impact
Remedies
Reuse of water and flyash Alternate form of energy
The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 environmental pollutant" "handling "hazardous substance
1982 - The Atomic Energy Act deals with the radioactive waste
1948 The Factories Act and Amendment in 1987 the first to express concern for the working environment of the workers. its environmental focus and expanded its application to hazardous processes.
Lack of awareness
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
