industrial process of converting the harvested oil palm fruit into crude palm oil‚ large amount of water is consumed by palm oil mill. Consequently‚ the consumed water would turn into POME which is basically liquid waste that combined with the wastes from sterilizer condensate and cooling water. POME is the single largest source of industrial waste water pollution in Malaysia. POME is oily waste water that had been generated by palm oil processing mills and consists of various suspended components

Damage to the environment is mainly done by the reject dumps‚ pumping out of muddy waters from the working pits including those where the mining operations have gone below the water table‚ and slimes from the beneficiation plant. The damage is more evidenced during monsoon where the rain water carries the washed out material from

What Causes Water Pollution? Industrial waste gets dumped into these water bodies. This causes a chemical imbalance in the water leading to death of the aquatic beings. Insecticides‚ pesticides and ripening chemicals that are used on plants run into the ground water system or nearby streams. Washing clothes near lakes and rivers causes detergents also causes a condition called “Eutrophication” which blocks sunlight from entering inside and reduces oxygen values in the water causing an inhabitable
