Industrial activities cause significant pollution to the environment. Major industries like agriculture, manufacturing, and construction damage the environment through air, water, soil, and wildlife pollution. The document outlines several causes of industrial pollution like lack of pollution control policies and outdated technologies. Some effects of industrial pollution include global warming from toxic emissions, respiratory diseases from air pollution, reduced soil quality, and destruction of wildlife habitats. Proper regulation and modernization of industries is needed to protect the environment for future generations.

UNIT I

2. IMPACT OF INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES ON THE ENVIRONMENT
 Industrial pollution is characterized as pollution that originates directly from industry.
 Major industries - Agriculture, Manufacturing and construction.
 People turn a blind eye to their impact on the environment.
 However, these industries may be important in supplying our demands at present, but looking after the environment is essential to ensure the future
of the next generation.

3. CAUSES OF INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION
1. Lack of Policies to Control Pollution
2. Unplanned Industrial Growth
3. Use of Outdated Technologies
4. Presence of a Large Number of Small-Scale Industries
5. Inefficient Waste Disposal
6. Leaching of Resources from Our Natural World

4. EFFECTS OF INDUSTRIALIZATION - GLOBAL WARMING
 Toxic substances and greenhouse gases released from
these industrial activities have accumulated in the
atmosphere.
 Earth’s temperature has been rising.
 Melted ice caps, contributing to the rise of the Earth’s
sea levels.
 Climate changes contribute to an increase in
typhoons, floods, and tsunamis every year.

5. EFFECTS OF INDUSTRIALIZATION –WATER/AIR POLLUTION
 Pollutants may then travel to nearby bodies of water
like rivers, coastal waters, or lakes.
 Toxic gases released by factories
 Respiratory diseases like Lung Cancer, Asthma etc.
 Hurt animals and plants and may lead to their
extinction.

6. EFFECTS OF INDUSTRIALIZATION –AIR POLLUTION
 Toxic gases released by factories
 Respiratory diseases like Lung Cancer, Asthma etc.
 Hurt animals and plants and may lead to their
extinction.

7. EFFECTS OF INDUSTRIALIZATION - SOIL POLLUTION
 Toxic chemicals and materials released to the land
can reduce the quality of the soil.
 Solid Waste also causes considerable amount of
pollution.
 This largely affects crop productivity; produce from
polluted lands may even contain chemicals that are
harmful to the human body.

8. EFFECTS OF INDUSTRIALIZATION - WILDLIFE DESTRUCTION
 Coal, wood, and fossil fuel to produce energy
 Their usage for these materials lead to forest
destruction.
 Both the act of cutting down trees as well as mining
lead to forest destruction, driving animals away from
their natural habitat.
 Moreover, oil spills, lack of proper waste
management, as well as accidental leaks can harm
wildlife.
