Question

make a report on the impact of industries on environment​

Answer 1

Answer:

Industry is a major cause of air pollution, since the operation of factories results in the emission of pollutants, including organic solvents, respirable particles, sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX). These pollutants can both harm public health and damage the environment by contributing to global phenomena such as climate change, the greenhouse effect, ozone hole and increasing desertification.

Examples of requirements/guidelines included on a business license: guidelines for flue installation; guidelines for preparing and submitting a survey of emissions and processes; guidelines to determine the maximum permitted (rate and concentration) emission values from sources; guidelines for continuous sampling and monitoring of emissions; instructions for the prevention and treatment of odor hazards.

The sources of effluent - treated or untreated wastewater that is discharged into surface waters - are many and varied. Effluent can come from industrial outlets, treatment plants, and sewers. Industrial effluents are only a small fraction of the waste in the State of Israel (about 17%), but their environmental damage has the potential to be greater than that of domestic (municipal) wastewater.

Untreated wastewater can cause environmental woes including: pollution of groundwater reservoirs, damage of transport and wastewater treatment systems, and degradation of treated wastewater and sludge such that it would disqualify them from being used for agricultural purposes. (Much of Israel's treated wastewater is used for irrigation; hence it is important to reduce wastewater pollutants such as salts and heavy metals, which could damage vegetation and contaminate soil and groundwater.)

Examples of requirements/guidelines included on a business license: separation of infrastructure to collect surface runoff, sewage waste, industrial waste and brines; treatment and removal of wastewater in accordance with its quality; compliance with values of discharge into the sewage system; continuous sampling and monitoring; sludge removal; storage of documents.
