1. Lack of Policies to Control Pollution:Lack of effective policies and poor enforcement drive allowed many industries to bypass laws made by pollution control board which resulted in mass scale pollution that effected 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 andwater pollution.
3. Use of Outdated Technologies:Most industries still rely on old technologies to produce products that generate large amount of waste. To avoid high cost and expenditure, many companies still make use of traditional technologies to produce high end products.
Effects of Industrial Pollution1. Water Pollution:The effects of industrial pollution are far reaching and liable to affect the eco-system for many years to come. Most industries require large amounts of water for their work. When involved in a series of processes, the water comes into contact with heavy metals, harmful chemicals, radioactive waste and even organic sludge.
These are either dumped into open oceans or rivers, or the water that has been polluted by them is released into the ground. As a result, many of our water sources have trace amounts of industrial waste in them and it seriously impacts the health of our eco-system. This water is used for irrigation, washing our food at home and sometimes recycled into drinking water.
Water pollutionhas already rendered many ground water resources useless for humans and wildlife. It can at best be recycled for further usage in industries, which costs tremendous amounts of money.
2. Soil Pollution:Soil pollutionis creating problems in agriculture and destroying local vegetation. It also causes chronic health issues for the people that come in contact with such soil on a daily basis.
3. Air Pollution:Air pollutionhas led to a steep increase in various illnesses and it continues to affect us on a daily basis. With so many small, mid and large scale industries coming up, air pollution has taken toll on the health of people.
4. Wildlife Extinction:By and large, the issue of industrial pollution shows us that it causes natural rhythms and patterns to fail, meaning that the wildlife is affected in a severe manner. Habitats are being lost, species are becoming extinct and it is harder for the environment to recover from each natural disaster. Major industrialaccidents like oil spills, fires, leak of radioactive material and damage to property are harder to clean-up, since they have a higher impact in a shorter span of time.
5. Global Warming:With the rise in industrial pollution,global warminghas been increasing at a steady pace. Smoke and greenhouse gases are released by the factories into the air, which causes an increase in thegreenhouse effectand increase in global warming. Melting of glaciers, extinction of polar beers, floods, tsunamis, hurricanes are few of theeffects of global warming.
