IMPACT OF INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION ON HUMAN HEALTH IN I-9 AND I-10 SECTORS OF ISLAMABAD
ABSTRACT
The research aims to study the impact of industrial pollution on the health of people in I-9 and I-10 Islamabad. The study shows that majority of the people are suffering from asthma, disruption in sleep, hypertension, tuberculosis and a lot of diseases related to skin. There is no check and balance on the industrial wastage and harmful gases. Measure should be taken for the industrial wastage and also the industries should be far from the residential areas. Moreover high quality machinery should be used and should be properly installed. The awareness campaign should also be arranged to aware the industrialist about the harmfulness they are creating for the people and also the people should be aware of the danger they are living with.
Introduction
Industrialization one hand provide us ease but the black side of these industries is that they are too much harmful for our health due the wastage they are producing and also the dangerous gases the are discharging in the air everyday. These gases not only affect our health but it is also destroying the ozone layer. The destroying of this ozone layer is resulting in the rise of temperature.
Evidence suggested that over 14 common diseases involving perhaps 90000 deaths a year could be conservatively linked to the results of industrial pollution in UK. In France 40% of hospital admissions linked to industrial pollution. (Freih, 2005).
The industrial sector of Islamabad is located in I-9 and I-10 sector on the boarder of Islamabad and Rawalpindi which was established in 1963. The Industrial state comprises of more then 200 factories spreaded over 625 acres of land. These industries are managed by the CDA (Capital Development Authority). CDA is providing the water supply to the industries but numbers of industries have installed their own tube wells due to inadequate supply of water from CDA. The natural
