Since the dawn of civilisation man has endeavored to make his life more and more comfortable by producing various types of goods that satisfy his wants. Human desires are endless. People want more and more goods with better look, quality and duration. With the increase in population, the demand for goods and services goes on increasing. To satisfy their ever-increasing demand, more and more industries are being set up.
These industries use coal and petroleum as source of energy in the process of production. These factories continuously release smoke in the air. Some industries like leather tanning use various types
