11. Industrial pollution
• Causes of industrial pollution
1. Indiscriminate burning of bushes and
discharge of dangerous chemicals in the
environment
2. Industrialization is the main cause of
pollution, because more industries increase
than there would be pollution itself
3. Not maintaining industrial machines which
create a lot of friction in machines
4. Use of low quality coal

14. Pollution control
• Implementation of waste minimization
techniques and adoption of appropriate
pollution control measures
• Discard and discourage technologies which do
not confirm to the quality of products.
• Spreading awareness messages through
programs for the prospective and existing
entrepreneurs on usuage of cleaner technologies
and pollution control measures

16. Pollution prevention methods
• Design: products, buildings and manufacturing
systems can be made resource efficient throughout
their life cycle by incorporating environmental
consideration in to their design
• Process change: rethinking manufacturing process
can turn up ways to reduce production waste,
cutting both pollution costs.
• Material substitution: alternative materials for
cleaning, coating, lubrication and other production
processes can provide equivalent results while
preventing costly hazardous waste generation, air
emissions and worker health risks

17. Material Reuse: one company’s wastes may be
another company’s raw materials. Finding
markets for them can reduce solid waste, lessen
consumption of virgin resources, increase
income for the sellers, and provide an
economical resource supply for the buyers.
Resource efficiency: Using energy, water and
other production inputs more efficiently helps
keep air and water clean, reduces emissions of
greenhouse gases, cuts operating costs, and
improves productivity.

operations and maintenance activities can help
managers root out wasteful management
practices that drive up the costs and cause
pollution
