Industrial pollution refers to the harmful substances released into the environment as a result of industrial activities. This can include emissions from factories, waste disposal, and the use of chemicals in manufacturing processes. Common pollutants include carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and heavy metals, which can contaminate air, water, and soil. The effects of industrial pollution can be severe, impacting both human health and ecosystems. Exposure to these pollutants can lead to respiratory issues, waterborne diseases, and damage to wildlife habitats. Efforts to reduce industrial pollution often involve stricter regulations, cleaner technologies, and sustainable practices in industries.
