Industrial Pollution
Industrial pollution is pollution which can be directly linked with industry, in contrast to other pollution sources. This form of pollution is one of the leading causes of pollution worldwide; in the United States, for example, the Environmental Protective Agency estimates that up to 50% of the nation's pollution is caused by industry. Because of its size and scope, industrial pollution is a serious problem for the entire planet, especially in nations which are rapidly industrializing, like China.
This form of pollution dates back to antiquity, but widespread industrial pollution accelerated rapidly in the 1800s, with the start of the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution mechanized means of production, allowing for a much greater volume of production, and generating a corresponding increase in pollution. The problem was compounded by the use of fuels like coal, which is notoriously unclean, and a poor understanding of the causes and consequences of pollution.
Some of the latest studies suggest that the true effects of industrial water pollution have yet to be measured. While individual toxins and pollutants have been measured and laws regulating the individual toxins and pollutants have been passed, the cumulative effect of the whole picture has yet to be well measured.
The potential effects of industrial water pollution could grow to catastrophic levels. Not only does the potential for destruction of fish and other water dwelling creatures exist, but the potential for serious human illness also exists.
Additional studies on the toxicity and hazardous waste need to be done in order to determine whether more stringent regulations are necessary in order to save the planet’s natural waterways.
Just like the human body (as well as the bodies of animals) metabolizes blends of minerals together, the human body can also metabolize blends of toxins found in polluted water. Calcium is metabolized better when blended with Vitamin D. There are countless
