Abstract
Industrialization is a measure of the
development of rapid industrialization; however, population growth adversely
affects it. India is in the problem of rising industrialization and the need to
maintain the environmental status of the country. Industrialization in India
since independence has seen a rapid development, creating a variety of medium
and large-scale industries. However, the effluents from these industries have
complex and diversified a wide array of pollutants leading to the pollution of
aquatic bodies. This study measured physico-chemical parameters in order to
measure the levels of pollution in the aquatic body; the parameters studied
included PH, Electrical conductivity, Biochemical oxygen demand, chemical
oxygen demand, total dissolved solids and Salinity. Through the above study,
the researcher has noticed that agriculture areas such as Bichitrapur are less
polluted, while the industrial areas such as Kharagpur and Midnapore are highly
polluted. In this paper, subsequent effects of industrial pollutants discharge
on India’s aquatic bodies biological systems were discussed. Industrial waste
should be treated properly and be allowed to be discharged into the
environment; then, our tomorrow will be better.
