प्रश्न
How are industries the main source of water pollution?
उत्तर
Industries are a major source of water pollution due to:
- Chemical Waste Discharge: Hazardous chemicals are often released into water bodies by several industries without sufficient treatment. These include heavy metals, solvents, and toxic sludge, harming aquatic ecosystems and human health.
- Thermal Pollution: Industries use water as a coolant and then discharge hot water back into rivers or lakes. This raises water temperatures, decreases oxygen levels, and adversely affects aquatic life.
- Particulate Matter and Sediments: Industrial activity frequently releases particles and silt into water bodies. These particles can choke out aquatic environments and block sunlight, which can inhibit aquatic plants' ability to process photosynthesis.
