Sanganer Textile and Dye Industries Causing Serious Environmental Pollutionijtsrd
Sanganer town, district Jaipur Rajasthan, India , is famous worldwide for its dyeing and printing industries. There are about 400 industries involved in textile printing processes, which discharge effluents into nearby ponds and drains, without any treatment. 2 Madhu Sharma | Dr. Tripti Yadav "Sanganer Textile and Dye Industries Causing Serious Environmental Pollution" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-5 | Issue-4 , June 2021, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.compapers/ijtsrd42509.pdf Paper URL: https://www.ijtsrd.comother-scientific-research-area/enviormental-science/42509/sanganer-textile-and-dye-industries-causing-serious-environmental-pollution/madhu-sharma
Characterization and quantization of solid waste in ganga villages of haridwarIJARIIT
One of the most emerging challenges of the modern world of rapid urbanization is management and disposal of solid
waste. Solid waste is generated from each and every household of the society so it is one of the most important aspects to
consider for the management and disposal factors of generated waste. About 47% of world’s population (3.31 billion) and
68.84% (0.83308 billion) of India’s population resides in rural areas. The results showed that average daily per capita of
household waste and cattle waste generation is 0.18, 18 kg/cap-day respectively. The main portion of household solid waste is
organic and bio-degradable which is around 75% and remaining fraction comprise of paper, polythene, plastics, textiles,
rubber, glass, metal and inert are 6.62, 2.45, 0.89, 2.57, 0.32, 0.42, 0.41 and 5.26 in percentage respectively. The bulk density of
household and cattle waste is 310.33 kg/m3, 805.076 kg/m3 respectively. The physical composition of household waste is
moisture content, ash content, organic content is 83%, 31%, and 69% respectively and chemical characteristics (food and
organic fraction) of the generated waste including the amount of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus is 1.74, 0.34, and 0.7 %
respectively. Heavy metals in the waste were found to be in a very trace amount, so no further treatment is required.
As the above results show that the bigger part of the solid waste generated in studied areas is organic and bio-degradable
and most suitable techniques for this type of waste are composting and bio-methanation. For further treatment, this waste can
be composted and used as fertilizer in agricultural fields and another way to deal with this waste is installation of bio-gas plant
in which methane can be produced and the remaining slurry can be converted in to nutrient rich compost for agricultural
purpose to minimize the chemical fertilizer application especially in the agricultural field nearby the river. Finally, 100% of
the solid waste has been utilized and its useful by-products are bio-gas and fertilizer generation, creating a win-win situation.
contaminated land area due to industrial hazardous waste generation and its r...INFOGAIN PUBLICATION
The rapid growth of industrialization, urbanization and use of pesticides in agricultural fields in India has contributed to the generation of contaminated land. The uncontrolled and non-engineered waste disposal is one of the major causes of ground water contamination, air contamination and land contamination leading to health risks of human beings, animals and ecosystems. This paper is mainly focused on estimating contaminated land area to industrial hazardous waste generation and disposal practices. Presently in India, there is reported 7.2 million tonne hazardous waste generation from more than 40,000 registered industries according to Controller and Auditor General’s report(CAG-2012). This study also summaries the advantages and disadvantages of different methods which are useful to manage a contaminated site by a geo–environmental engineer. For a specific superfund site, there is not only one remediation technique is applicable but also more than one techniques are applicable on the basis of different criteria.
Analysis of Solid Waste for its better Management – a case studyinventionjournals
Rapid population growth and changes in consumption habits have caused a considerable increase in solid waste production, and the amounts of refuse destined for final disposal have rapidly consumed landfill capacity. Cities in developing countries face serious environmental pollution problems caused mainly by the inadequate and inefficient final disposal of their solid waste. The most poorly rendered services in the basket— the systems applied are unscientific, outdated and inefficient.This study is based on both primary and secondary sources of data; primary data was collected through field survey during the year 2015 – 16. In the present study an attempt has been made to analysis of the composition, characteristics and quantities of solid waste. An analysis of the composition, characteristics and quantities of waste is essential because it provides the basic data on which the management system is planned, designed and operated, the changes and trend in composition of waste over a period of time are known which helps in future planning and the forecast of trend assists designers and manufactures in the production of vehicles and equipments suitable for future needs.

Introduction
The Sultanate of Oman comprises 317 waste dumps distributed throughout the region, with an annual volume of about 1.7 million tons of solid waste, which represents the largest proportion of paper, followed by plastic and glass. The Government established the Omani Environmental Services Holding Company (Bee'ah) six years ago and was entrusted with the task of preparing feasibility studies and research for a scientific and sustainable treatment with waste.
At the beginning of the year, the company decided to shut down and rehabilitate the dumps, and to reduce this huge number in 13 areas of engineering to get rid of solid waste in a safe manner to prevent the leakage of damage to the groundwater, and ensure the prevention of leaks of gases contributing to global warming. With the establishment of 36 transfer stations for the collection and transport of waste in the Sultanate, whose task is to transfer the waste after sorting to the engineering mirdam. The Sultanate of Oman is one of the Arab countries that attaches great importance to environmental projects as well as to make the most of the waste by converting them into industrial products that can turn into profitable, economically viable and developmental investments.
"At the beginning of the year, the company decided to shut down and rehabilitate the dumps, and to reduce this huge number in 13 areas of engineering to get rid of solid waste in a safe manner to prevent leakage of damage to groundwater"
Take advantage of construction waste
Experts explain that the Sultanate's strategy is based on sorting, recycling and manufacturing, with the development of this sector in the future through pilot projects in this field. BEAEA is mandated by the law to deal with the waste sector in the Sultanate, from the development of strategies to its implementation on the ground, in order to fulfill the responsibilities and directives of Sultan Qaboos Bin It deals with all forms of waste, including green residues that can be analyzed, electronic and electrical wastes, demolition and construction wastes, expired cars, used tires and finished batteries, as well as health waste.
He added: Construction waste is of great importance in our strategy, especially with the construction of the Batinah coastal road and the demolition of about 2000 houses and the transfer of their residues to the landfill. Therefore, we decided to take advantage of these wastes in road construction rather than waste, Or on roads near residential areas.
Health services institutions in the Sultanate produce 4,500 tons of sanitary waste per year, most of which are classified as hazardous waste containing to.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

9. Hazardous waste management in
India
Hazardous As per the CPCB estimates, twelve states of the country
(Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamilnadu, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Assam, Uttar
Pradesh, West Bengal, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Rajasthan)
account for 97 % of total waste generation.
The top four waste generating states are Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra
Pradesh, and Tamilnadu. As there is wide variation in the quantity and nature
of waste generated across states and Union Territories (UTs) and also
considering the wide variation in the climatic as well as hydrogeological
conditions in different regions of the country, the approach to waste
management is essentially state specific.
AT Present, there are Common, Treatment, Storage and Disposal
Facilities(TSDFs) which are developed for the disposal of land disposable
hazardous waste at 22 different places at 10 states i.e. at Gujarat,
Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya
Pradesh, Punjab

11. CASE STUDY OF HAZARDOUS WASTE :-
Case studies from Gujarat illustrating adverse impact of hazardous wastes
The Ahmedabad-Vadodara-Surat industrial belt has over 2,000 industrial units in the organised and fertilisers. Vapi in Valsad district has
around 1,800 units of which 450 fall in category of polluting industries. Industries in all these areas usually dump their wastes in low
laying areas within 2 km radius.
As a result, a major illegal dump yard has sprung up on the banks of river Daman Ganga. Indian Petrochemical Corporation Limited
(IPCL) at Vadodara dumps 1,800 tonnes of hazardous wastes every month sector and more than 63,000 small scale units manufacturing
chemicals like soda ash, dyes, yarns at a site near Nandesari. The IPCL dumpsite is on hill. During rainy season, the hazardous
constituents of these wastes are washed down into the river.
Case studies from Maharashtra illustrating adverse impact of hazardous wastes
The Thane-Bealpur industrial area, in Maharashtra where about 1200 industrial units are housed on a 20 km stretch
close to new Mumbai creates more than 100 tonnes of solid waste every day. About 85% of this waste is either acidic
or alkaline in nature. The area also produces 5 tonnes of waste every day, which is difficult to treat because of its
halogen content. The bulk of hazardous waste in this area is co-disposed with municipal waste in municipal waste
dumpsites. The water bodies in the vicinity of this industrial area are polluted. The sediment in the Ulhas river has
registered high levels of mercury and arsenic. Ulhas river empties into Thane Creek at its northern end. As a result,
Thane Creek is one of the most polluted seawaters in the country.

17. LITERATURE REVIEW :
Being an industrializing country, India’s contribution to the generation of hazardous is being
considered significant. The waste is generated from a wide spectrum of industries in the country.
The management of these wastes poses many challenges for the industry and the government as
well. Policy and legislative frameworks have been put in place while a host of international
programmes are supplementing national efforts in containing the problem. The article provides an
overview of the hazardous waste management scenario in India.
by Tata Energy Research Institute
(Centre Lodhi Road New Delhi)
This review we can conclude that increases in risk of adverse health effects have been reported near
individual landfill site sand in some multisite studies. Although biases and confounding factors cannot be
excluded as explanations for these findings, the findings may indicate real risks associated with residence
near certain landfill sites.
Research into the health effects of landfill sites is relatively immature, and further research could improve
our current The presence of large quantities of mixtures of potentially hazardous chemicals in landfill sites
close to residential populations has increasingly caused concern.
Concerns have led to a substantial number of studies on the health effects associated with landfill sites.
Martine Vryheid
(Environmental Epidemiology Unit, Department of Public Health)
18. Suggestions/recommendations
The strategy required to ensure scientific management of hazardous waste
whose generation is expected to increase due to our liberalized economic policies
should encompass training and institutional strengthening in all aspects of waste
management cycles starting from its generation to its handling, segregation,
transportation, treatment, and disposal.
The strategy should also target waste minimization/reduction as its primary
focus, a particularly important point in view of stricter.
As per the Waste Management Rules,1989, and the MoEF’s Guidelines(1991),
hazardous waste generated by industries has to be disposed of in secured landfills
and the toxic organic fraction of the waste needs to be incinerated
Currently, there are 116 hazardous waste incinerators in the country and 11
engineered landfills in operation all of which are located in Gujarat.
As per the information provided by the MoEF, there are 323 hazardous waste
recycling units in India;
