4. 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.
5. Where do industrial pollutants
come from ?
Industrial pollutants are pollution and
waste by product directly connected
with industrial manufacturing.
Industrial pollutant represents the
leading world wide cause of pollution
in general and probably the most toxic
to all life and nature, because
industrial pollutants are produced in
such a large capacity from
manufacturing worldwide and because
7. Water pollution
One of the most common is water
pollution, caused by dumping
of industrial waste into waterways, or
improper containment of waste, which
9. Effects of water pollution
In India, water pollution due to industrial wastes
and sewage has been assuming menancing
proportions. Large lakes and large stretches of most
of the rivers in India have water which is unsafe for
drinking purpose. Survey of industrialized zones
show that even ground water has become unfit for
drinking due to high concentration of toxic metals
and chemicals along with bacteriological
contamination
ill effects of water pollution
Lead More than 400 mg of lead in human body can cause brain
damage, vomiting, loss of appetite, damage of kidney etc.
Manganese Mn is essential for mammals but in concentration greater
Than 100 ppm, is toxic, and causes , fever, muscles fatigue, eye blindness.
Nickel More than 30 mg may cause changes in muscle, brain, lungs, liver,
kidney and can also cause cancer, paralysis and even death
10. Air pollution
Industries can also cause air
pollution.
Industrial pollution can also
impact air quality, as it give
out chemical components and
gases in the air
12. Effects of air pollution
• Acid rain is an effect of air pollution. Acid rain can poisen
drinkwater, ruin the harvest from farmers, damage aquatic
life and erode buildings.
• Air pollution can cause cancer, headache, decreased muscle
coordination,
worse sight etc.
• Childrens have more problems with air pollution than adults.
• Smoke come out from the factories is very dangerous for those
who lives on this
earth. It contains lots of harmful chemicals which effects the
body badly.
• Different diseases are caused with this smoke like asthma,
lung disease, heart
13. Soil pollution
Soil pollution is caused by human
activities
and their misuse of land
resources.
It occurs when waste is not
disposed properly. Health hazard
disposal of urban and
industrial wastes, exploitation of
minerals, and improper use of soil
by inadequate agricultural
practices are a few factors.
Industrialization is the major
Cause of soil pollution.
15. Effects of soil pollution
• Dangerous chemicals from industries entering
underground water
• Ecological imbalance
• Release of pollutant gases
• Release of radioactive rays causing health problems
• Increased salinity
• Reduced vegetation
16. Global warming
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.
17. Government Functions To
Control Industrial
Pollution• Pollution Assessment
• Pollution Control Regulatory functions
• Laying Down Standards for Effluent and Emissions
• Research & Development including setting up of the
demonstration plants
• Environment Awareness Programme
• Advisory Role
• Establishment Laboratories
18. Government Strategies
To Control Industrial
Pollution• Take up highly polluting large and medium industries, most grossly
polluted areas of the State and grossly polluted river stretches to be
dealt with on priority basis for control of pollution.
• Promotional measures and assistance through incentives, guidelines,
development of cost effective technologies and putting up of
demonstration plants.
• Persuasion of industry / local bodies to take preventive measures for the
control of pollution.
• Strengthening of capacities for pollution control through training and
laboratory development and strengthening of man power and
infrastructure.
19. Government Activities
To Control Industrial
Pollution• It carries out the monitoring of the Water quality of all the four rivers of
the State viz. Satluj, Beas, Ravi & Ghaggar through 37 monitoring
stations
• It monitors the groundwater quality in the major industrial towns of
Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Amritsar, Nangal etc.
• It carries out the monitoring of the quality of ambient air of Ludhiana,
Jalandhar, Amritsar, Patiala, Mandi Gobindgarh & Nangal through 22
permanent air monitoring stations.
• The Board advices, guides, encourages, persuades & helps the industry in
putting up effluent treatment plants and air pollution control devices to
control pollution and in taking other measures to prevent or reduce
pollution.
21. 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. In the hierarchy of controls,
pollution prevention and waste minimization are more
desirable than pollution control. In the field of
land development, low impact development is a similar
technique for the prevention of urban runoff.
23. • Sewage treatment
– Sedimentation (Primary treatment)
– Activated sludge biotreaters (Secondary treatment; also used for
industrial wastewater)
– Aerated lagoons
– Constructed wetlands (also used for urban runoff)
• Industrial wastewater treatment
– API oil-water separators[15][35]
– Biofilters
– Dissolved air flotation (DAF)
– Powdered activated carbon treatment
– Ultrafiltration
• Vapor recovery systems
• Phytoremediation
24. SUGGESTIONS
• Stop smoking or at least follow the “No Smoking” sign.
• Never use open fires to dispose of wastes.
• Industries should use fuel with lower sulphur content.
• Industries should monitor their air emissions regularly
and take measures to ensure compliance with the
prescribed emission standards.
• Industries should strictly follow applicable government
regulations on pollution control.
• Take very good care of your pets and their wastes.
• Do not cause loud noises and unwanted sounds to avoid
noise pollution.
• Have a proper waste disposal system especially for toxic
wastes
