Industrial Pollution is a pollution that can be directly linked with industry, in contrast together pollution source. This form of pollution is one of the most leading causes of pollution in UAE. While the overall air quality in UAE is better than in many developed countries, but the issue will probably need more attention as the country grows. UAE have great cities here, which are growing and every time there is growth in human activity, there is an increase in pollution.
Methodology:
The report was undertaken by searching the databases: Google Scholar, Ebscohost ,and other primary resources such as articles ,internet, books to find an answer for the main causes and solutions to treat this issue.
1-Causes of Industrial Pollution As shown in figure 1.1, toxic chemicals -- sulfates and nitrates -- are responsible for 26 percent, followed by industrial production and Green House Emission at 25 percent and 18

2.2 Soil pollution
Soil can become polluted by the incorrect disposal of hazardous chemical products, a primary source of soil pollution include the overuse of pesticides/herbicides. In the case of contaminants which occur naturally in soil, even when their levels are not high enough to pose a risk, soil pollution is still said to occur if the levels of the contaminants in soil exceed the levels that should naturally be present. (Hanks, 2012)
2.3 Noise
Manure and chemical filled lagoons are a common component of industrial farming. A colossal amount of waste is produced from COFAs, therefore it has to go somewhere. That somewhere would be the prior mentioned lagoons which are then sprayed or leaked into the soil. Contaminated soil can affect both ground and surface water. The runoff can go in two directions; either absorbed into the ground or washed into rivers or lakes in the surrounding area.
When washed into water bodies, contaminated soil can incite water pollution. Most importantly, crops grown on land accumulate the toxins in them. Should anything consume contaminated crops, there is a high chance of poisoning, even for humans, who play a big role in economic growth. It has been established that a higher QOL is a pro of industrialization; should something like this occur, that pro would be negated. The importance of ensuring soil is not contaminated is therefore,
Nonpoint source pollution is generally from land runoff. NPS pollution is caused from rainfall or snow melting and moving over the ground. As the run-off moves over the ground, it picks up and carries away natural and human made pollutants. These pollutants end up being deposited into lakes,rivers,wetlands,oceans and ground waters. Some examples of NPS pollution are excess fertilizers, herbicides and insecticides.
Overview Fertilizers and pesticides both have definite pros and cons associated with their use. Both types of chemical tend to increase yields, and thus make a significant difference in food production, particularly in countries that struggle periodically with famines. On the other hand, they both can cause water pollution when erosion carries the chemicals off of farms along with eroded soils after each rainfall. There is also concern by some authorities that pesticides pose a risk, not only to nontarget animal and plant species, but to humans as well. Positive Effects of Fertilizers
Aside from the fact that coal industry and power stations use 70% of total water the mining industry has also polluted it. The other source of water pollution is the industry, in particular textiles and electronics. As it is pointed out by the available data at the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs as it has been with the power of generation – a lack of regulations and enforcements together with inefficient use of water resources has been damaging the water quality and diminishing its availability for agricultural activities. A domino effect has been seen in water pollution which has had an impact on
During the Industrialization, factories began to appear near rivers in the middle of villages. Despite all of the output of goods, it created many problems in the villages. “…Industrial growth brought with it a host of environmental pollution problems” (Document 3). This occurred because the towers released smoke and chemicals into the air, this impacted the farming in the villages by contaminating the crops. It also caused respiratory problems to many people that lived around the factory.
Although the pollution responsible for these statistics comes from a multitude of factors, there are four main industries which are contributing to the destruction of the environment which we would like to focus on; farming, mining, sweatshops, and e-waste
The use of chemical fertilizers and synthetic herbicides and pesticides dramatically influenced the environment by increasing pollution and erosion. The new materials added to the soil and plants polluted the soil and water systems around the fields. The pollution of the water exposed people and the environment downstream to the chemicals being used in the farm fields. The pollution of the soil resulted in lower soil quality, which increased the risk of erosion of the
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION A Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorder (WMSD) is defined as any musculoskeletal damage resulting from activities related to work or occupation. It is termed as an injury which occurs because of incident that results in time loss, exacerbation, limitation of working hours or job alteration. It can also be defined as pain arising from muscles, ligaments, tendons, joint capsule, bursa and bone lasting more than three days as a result of over exertion. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affect the person’s bones, tendon, muscles, bursa, joints, capsules, ligaments, fascia and nerves. (1, 2 and 3)
One of the biggest sources of pollution is called nonpoint pollution, which occurs as a result of runoff. These sources are septic tanks, cars, trucks, boats plus larger sources such as farms and forest
Naturally occurring resources like rocks with iron, manganese and more can dissolve into groundwater, and the organic particles have a high concentration on human’s health. On a better note, some can only cause a bad smell or taste. Landfills can also contaminate water through the decomposition process that can release leachate into the water. These come from industrial and hazardous chemicals. They can only leach into the ground but then contaminate water.
CHAPTER 1 1. INTRODUCTION The air we respire contains mixture of natural and man-made chemical, physical and biological elements that modifies ambient air quality. Among all air pollutants, the most threatening for human health include particulate matter and gaseous pollutants such as carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide (WHO). The movement of people into urban areas and the growth of industry within these areas has carried more people into contact with air pollution than any other time in recent memory.
One of the greatest issues that we face towards the environment has been an increasingly difficult problem over the last few years. Earths climate is changing at rapid paces and solutions are needed as quickly as possible to replenish natural ecosystems and cultures that depend on the environment. Climate change not only affects the animals in our ecosystem, but us humans as well. With the human population increasing every year, climate change is only getting worse. Many argue that the effects of climate change towards the environment are due to other extraneous factors, however, I myself am a strong believer that the problems such as rising sea levels, warmer temperatures and natural disasters are all due to both natural causes and human activity.
Pollution of industrial water caused by the discharge of harmful chemicals and substances into water, making it unsuitable for consumption and for other purposes. Although 70% of the land is covered with water, so water bodies such as lakes, ponds, rivers, reservoirs and watercourses provide us with fresh water, keep it clean, it is a matter of survival, not only for people, but also for all other life forms. Since the industrial revolution, we have achieved many things; our manufacturing process to become more efficient and productive, science has become more sophisticated, and our lives have changed. But perhaps nothing comes without a price. All the progress and development seen in past centuries have also brought with them a wide range of problems; water pollution is one of them.
• Pollution: Pollution of air, water and soil require millions of years to recoup. Industry and motor vehicles exhaust are the number one pollutants. Heavy Metals, nitrates and plastic are toxins for pollution. While water pollution is caused by oil spill, acid rain, urban runoff; air pollution is caused by various gases and toxins
