How are industries the main source of water pollution?

थोडक्यात उत्तर

उत्तर

Industries are a major source of water pollution due to:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
