TAILIEUCHUNG - Industrial Pollution

In the United States industry is the greatest source of pollution, accounting for more than half the volume of all water pollution and for the most deadly pollutants. Some 370,000 manufacturing facilities use huge quantities of freshwater to carry away wastes of many kinds. The waste-bearing water, or effluent, is discharged into streams, lakes, or oceans, which in turn disperse the polluting substances. In its National Water Quality Inventory, reported to Congress in 1996, the . Environmental Protection Agency concluded that approximately 40% of the nation's surveyed lakes, rivers, and estuaries were too polluted for such basic uses as drinking. | Industrial Pollution Unforunately our affluent society has also been an effluent society -Hubert H. Humphrey 85 State Of The Environment Report - 2003 Industrial Pollution Current Status Problems and Causes Impacts Prioritisation Action Plan 86 Industrial Pollution CURRENT STATUS Karnataka is home to many industries specifically in the sectors of iron and steel pulp and paper cement chemicals fertilizers silk textiles mining machine tools and pharmaceuticals. The environmental problems that arise due to industrial activities are water pollution air pollution generation of hazardous waste and noise pollution. The nature of emissions and effluents from industries are varied and industry specific. Among the various industrial sectors a substantial portion of effluents containing heavy metals are generated from electroplating nickel zinc copper tanneries chromium textiles and chemical industries while organic pollutants are mainly generated from distilleries sugar pulp and paper food processing textile pharmaceuticals dye and dye intermediates and tannery industries. The contribution to air pollution from the industries in Karnataka is mainly from cement thermal power units pulp and paper sugar stone crushing foundries lead acid batteries manufacturing units refinery fertiliser basic drugs and pharmaceuticals and chemical industries. The main pol- Charter on corporate responsibility for environmental protection Industrial activities should comply with the regulatory norms for prevention and control of pollution. Alongside it is also imperative to go beyond compliance through adoption of clean technologies and improvement in management practices. Commitment and voluntary initiatives of industry for responsible care of the environment will help in building a partnership for pollution control. With this in view a series of industry-specific interaction meetings were organised by the Ministry of Environment and Forests during December 2002 and January 2003 to formulate the
