IMPACT OF INDUSTRIAL PRACTICES ON THE ECOSYSTEM
Industrialisatiom
Generate a lot of waste
Generate huge amount of air pollution
Leads to over-utilisation of natural resources
Leads to urbanisation -- Deforestation
Mining
Disrupts surface and ground water circulation
Often contaminate the metal with toxic heavy metal and acids
Generates a great amount of waste
Extraction of minerals and other materials from the earth
Leads to reshaping of the topography
Result in deforestation
Urbanisation
Cities are the main hubs of economic activites
The economic and social infrastructure become inadequate to meet the growing needs of the people
Growing share of urban population to total population of a country
Closely associated with both industrialisation and urbanisation
Deforestation
DEFORESTATION
Many industries are based on forests
Setting up of industries on the lands reserved for agriculture and forest
Constructing dams
The soil is subjected to erosion by the full force of rains and winds
Removal or destruction of the forest cover of an area for economic gains
DEPLETION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Obtain natural resources to uninterruptedly continue large-scale production to suffice the consumption needs of a growing population
POLLUTION
Any addition to air, water, soil that threatens human life or other living organisms
Air pollution
Water pollution
Soil Pollution
Noise pollution
ENERGY RESOURCES
The usage of coal as energy involves it burning which releases CO2
The usage of petroleum produces gases like NO, NO2 that causes corrosion, attacks skin and lungs congestion
Rely on conventional sources of energy to generate electricity for running our factories
