Chemical waste has proven to be a major source of pollution. 20% of all pollution entering the river is of this type, and comes from such sources as paper mills, sugar mills, and tanneries ("Ganga Receives 2,900 Million Ltrs of Sewage Daily"). Chemicals such as arsenic, cadmium, mercury, sulfuric acid. chemical dyes, and heavy metals frequently find their way into the water of the river, and pose a major threat. Additionally, chromium is 100 times higher than the government limit at Kanpur (Morrison). Even hydrochloric acid and acetone are dumped into the river by pharmaceutical companies (Hammer). These chemicals are very dangerous to the environment, as well as to the people who drink the water or bathe in it. Because of this, there have been recent pushes to have the environment cleaned and prevent businesses from dumping illegally.

In addition to this, 6,000,000 tons of chemical fertilizer and 9,000 tons of pesticides enter the water through runoff. Many people in the area of the river are farmers, and thus this is unavoidable without proper infrastructure. This fertilizer is detrimental to the environment, as it promotes algae growth. This in turn causes the fish to be deprived of oxygen, which kills them off (Sampat). The pesticides are also damaging to life in the river, and are hazardous to those who drink the water as well.
