Comprehensive Environmental Pollution Abatement Action Plans for the Industrial Clusters in West Bengal

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), with the help of various reputed institutions, has carried out an environmental assessment of different industrial clusters/areas across the country and has finally published a Comprehensive Environmental Pollution Index (CEPI) for eighty eight (88) selected industrial clusters/areas. The CEPI is a rational number to characterize the prevailing environmental quality of these locations, which can be used as an early warning tool in categorizing the industrial clusters/areas in terms of priority of planning needs for interventions. The major parameters considered for calculation of CEPI are air, water and land (soil and ground water). The industrial clusters with CEPI score 80 or above have been identified as very critically polluted clusters/areas and those having CEPI score 70 or above are identified as critically polluted industrial clusters/areas. As per the Office Memorandum of the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), Government of India dated 13th January 2010, out of these eighty eight (88) areas, ten (10) industrial clusters/areas have been identified as very critically polluted and thirty three (33) clusters/areas have been identified as critically polluted industrial clusters, with respect to one or more environmental component. Among these forty three (43) identified critically polluted areas, in West Bengal the following three (3) areas have been identified as critically polluted areas (with CEPI > 70): (A) Haldia [5 km. wide strip of industrial area on southern side of the confluence point of river Hooghly and Rupnarayan,

    South West Green Plan

    The introduction of the Green Plane is a socially responsible act because Southwest introduced an environmental friendly aircraft which will create a cost savings to the company and eventually be passed down to Southwest customers. With Southwest decision to use recycled material there are many benefits to this decision and that the aircraft will be lighter by 519 lb. per aircraft which will cut down fuel consumption by 10,000 gal per flight and a cost savings of $20,000 per year, per plan. Also, by using the recycled material for the carpet and smaller square pieces; when and if a section would need replaced there is no need to tear out the entire carpet; just the piece or pieces that are damaged. By doing this the carpet can be sent back to the manufacture and be re-made and re-used at a different time and help that manufacture with job security for its employees.…

    Minning

    Mining is a major contributor to the pollution of air and water. According to the article “Mining and Quarrying Impacts”, “The extraction processes can ... contaminate air and water with sulfur dioxide and other pollutants, putting wildlife and local populations at risk”(1). Not only are these chemical pollutants harmful to the environment, but they can also affect human populations. It is also stated that the pollutants can travel by air and water. So, no organism is out of its path. Granted that some actions have been taken to reduce the amount of pollution, it still isn’t enough. In a village in the Keonjhar District it was stated that, “the level of suspended particles in residential area should not exceed 200 micrograms, and in industrial area 1500 micrograms. But in several areas [it’s] recorded 2,500 and 700 micrograms…” (Times of India 1). As a result of the high levels of pollution there, most of the villages close to the mining site have become uninhabitable and the residents have been forced out by the pollution. Also most of the wildlife has a lot less biodiversity now. Another part of mining that is a major contributor to pollution is mine fires. As it says in the article by Environmental Science, “There are hundreds of such mine fires [everywhere]. They emit a substantial amount of methane and carbon dioxide into…

    India Water Pollution

    Studies found that sewage waste is the main cause of water pollution in India. The problem is caused by the poor treatment of dumping sewage and the failure to maintain sewage treatment plants. The Central Pollution Control Board, a company that monitors environmental issues in India, has created the National Water Quality Monitoring Network, which monitors the quality of waters all year. The network monitors waters all over India. Samples of water are taken frequently and checked for bacteria and other harmful substances within the water. Other ways of sewage treatment include air flotation, dual media filter, activated carbon filter, sand filtration and sludge drying beds. These methods all take place in sewage treatment plants. Water treatment plants are very expensive and are needed to be maintained constantly. Removal of sludge is said to be the most untreated area of water treatment. This is because of the poor design and poor maintenance of the sludge treatments. India has set policies to control sewage pollution in water. the Ministry of Environment and Forests has created financial and technical support systems to promote the proper treatment of water. The problem with India’s water treatment is that the government is not putting enough effort into making the water usable for its citizens. The government should promote the health hazards and future issues of water pollution so the citizens can learn to treat their water better. Informing citizens is also a way of treatment because people will be aware of the issues water pollution will cause for them and therefore they will take action.…

    Mithi River

    The clean-up operation is thus a comprehensive effort by Brihan Mumbai Municipal Corporation, Citizens, Maharashtra Pollution Control Board as well as NGOs, as the complex nature of land use suggests. The steps to be taken to minimize pollution are as follows, 1) Provide sewerage system on both the banks of the river so that the sewage is collected and treated at various locations. This includes existing sewage discharge drains provided by BMC Immediately stop all the unauthorized industries which includes scrap dealers, scrap recyclers, waste oil recyclers etc. These industries contribute industrial waste, hazardous waste as well as sludge. Provide proper garbage collection system on both banks of the river, so that garbage is not dumped in the river. To improve flow pattern, it is essential to clean the bed of Mithi river right from Powai to Mahim. This will improve its carrying capacity. To improve the quality of water, sewage treatment plants are essential at various locations. The analysis report clearly indicates that the water after treatment can be reused in industry or for gardening. Both the banks of Mithi river can be planted with proper vegetation for beautification. In fact this will work as a natural eco-system to improve the quality of water and save cost of providing expensive treatment plants. If the sludge is removed from the bed of Mithi river, it may be possible to use this river for internal navigation purpose, using some…

    Industrial Policy of Assam

    Assam is situated at the North-eastern Himalayan Sub-region of India. In spite of having huge development potential, the economy of Assam remained underdeveloped as it is characterized by poverty, under-utillised man power and untapped natural resources. The economy of the state is depending too much on agriculture. In Assam, cultivators and agricultural labourers together account for 64.0 percent of the total working population, whereas workers of manufacturing other household industries constitute only 2.8 percent of the total worker of the state.…

    industrial pollution

    First, let’s talk about the origin of industrial pollution. “Since human beings started burning wood to stay warm, they have been releasing pollution into the environment. Not until the 18th century, though, when the Industrial revolution began, did humans begin to have a significant effect on Earth 's environment” (Broderick). According to Broderick, the steam-powered factories needed an endless supply of burning wood to run. Therefore, coal and oil became the predominant source of energy as industry spread across the world. However, the negative byproducts of burning coal and oil became obvious and fearful. The forms of pollution involved radioactive waste, greenhouse gases, heavy metals and medical waste.…

    Environmental Pollution

    Environmental Pollution is the most important threat to the human race on this planet today. Environment consists of earth, air, water, flora and fauna. It means adding impurity which threatens the life of flora and fauna to the environment. These impurities are mainly created by man-made activities. The impurity can be air, water, land any sort of thermal radiation, etc. As we moving towards globalization there is rapid increase in industrialization and technological growth which releases harmful gases and chemicals into the air and simultaneously into water and thus affecting land, air as well water and ultimately the life of species on Earth. When elements like water and soil are involved, catastrophes like ground leakage, waste-water discharge, surface-run off, littering, soil contamination all these environmental issues crowd together and destroy our eco-system.…
