Question

what do you understand by industrial pollution? suggest ways to reduce it​

Answer 1

1. the drainage of chemicals from industries should be treated

2.the industries must be kept away from cities so the air pollution can decrease

3. trees must be planted near them so exchange of air could take place

Answer 2

Answer:

Industrial pollution is the pollution which can be directly linked with industry. This form of pollution is one of the leading causes of pollution worldwide. There are a number of forms of industrial pollution.

Explanation:

Reduction of Pollution:

1. Toxic metals should have a restriction on maximum environmental release based on relative toxicity levels and accumulation rates in ecosystems. If it is inevitable that heavy metals will be released in waste, treatment is necessary before the waste is be released into the environment. In a series of steps, electrolysis should be used to reduce precious metals (Cu, Ag), which can then be refined and sold. Then, biological processing with the appropriate microbes should be used to reduce toxicity of very reactive ions (Hg, Cd, Mn). Last, the waste solution should be made slightly alkaline to precipitate as much metal hydroxides as possible before release into the environment.

2. Toxic organic compound emissions that are not pesticide applications should be reduced by setting a fixed standard of emissions and ecotoxicity in a cap-and-trade system which can gradually be lowered. Ideally, this would eventually lead to zero emissions, as most organic compounds can be degraded by microbes and thus treated effectively. If compounds are found to be excessively toxic, a blanket ban should be introduced.

3. Agrochemicals should be subject to a taxation system in which the ecotoxicity of the compound determines the levy. However, some dangerous pesticides such as atrazine should be incorporated in a cap-and-trade system of dangerous agrochemicals that would gradually be lowered to allow time for transition to less dangerous chemicals. Again, excessively toxic compounds will need to be removed from the market by a blanket ban.

4. Detoxification and Recolonization:

Strongly polluted sites should be cleaned up through progams such as the U.S. Superfund, though bioremediation and in-site cleanup should be the preferential treatment options.

5. Physical and chemical reductions to bioavailability will need to be secured additionally, preferably by an irreversible degradation, so that pollutants cannot be released again.

5. Once a site has been detoxified, appropriate measures should be taken to ensure that all important positions of the biome can be fulfilled.
