Question

Industries cause pollution when the factories that manufacture goods dump their wastes into the water, air, and soil.
Imagine that you are a factory owner. Write down a few ways in which you can reduce the pollution caused by your factory.

Answer in Brief

Solution

I would follow the following steps

  1. For the mitigation of smoke emissions from the chimney, a stack should be installed at the emitting point.
  2. Liquid coming out from the process of manufacturing should be treated in a treatment plant before its disposal as civic wastewater.
  3. Solid waste of the factory should be disposed off in a safe way by throwing it into the designated landfill site.
  4. For minimum emissions from a chimney or up to the allowable
    limits, a chimney is made according to scientific prescriptions so that whatever emits from it during or after the manufacturing process must be within its limited level.
  5. Moreover, the quality of machinery and equipment which is used for manufacturing should also be well-maintained and its regular maintenance and repair should be done to help them limit the emissions from production.
