Industries are the main problem of pollution because people buy products that factories produce. Factories generate pollutants divided into three major categories specifically gas, solid, and water. New regulations are promoting the implementation of environmental friendly technologies and integrated pollution management strategies such as end of pipe technology. This is an approach to pollution control that focuses on the filtration of the waste that is discharged from factories, industries, etc.
Many countries are affected by pollution and face different problems. In developed countries the environmental burden caused by industries is very substantial. For developed and developing countries, technology based industries created more problems because of the use of toxic material in their procedures that can cause soil and water contamination (Handbook, Beijing, pg. 4). Many factories dump their waste materials in their closest surroundings.
The problem with environmental protection is that industrial growth may be the best way to direct research and development to obtaining a sustainable environment. For this the industries would need clean, non-contaminated areas and they are difficult to find (Handbook, Beijing, pg. 4). The traditional toxins and the newly found both work well together which makes the environment protection a lot harder to resolve. The usual industries in developed countries are steel mills, mining activities, textile industries, tanneries and pulp and paper industries (Handbook, Beijing, pg.4).
Industrial air pollution is mostly the emission of gaseous
