Industrialization And Oceans






The pollution in the oceans is a problem that is caused by industrialization. Big industries are dumping waste such as oil, fertilizers, solid garbage and toxic chemicals. In fact, ocean pollution directly affects humans by causing serious health problems. This pollution is also caused by boats. The chemical products ejected, when the engine is running on high speed, pollute water, and kill fish and other important marine animals. Secondly, this pollution is caused by garbage. Fore one hundred years, human have produced a lot of garbage and this has caused pollution problems in the ocean and killed many plants and animals. For example, cigarettes have killed many turtles. Thirdly, this pollution is caused by cars. One third of carbon dioxide produced by cars goes into the oceans and increases acidification. Solutions could be as easy as reinforcing present laws on this subject, but on a large scale pollution can be reduced by opposing coastal development or reducing mercury emissions

The impact of industrialization in India



Since India started building industrial areas for ground water systems, Bangalore’s inhabitants have developed serious health problems. So the Bureau of India Standards (BIS) launched an investigation to discover the cause of the problem. The result shows that water in the area contains nitrates, calcium, magnesium, sulphates, fluorides and many other products people don’t usually enjoy drinking. Now the impact is that a lot of people living in Peenya’s industrial area, in the city of Bangalore are suffering from serious health problems because of the consumption of toxic water. Since the problem was discovered in 2003, an alert about the urgency of the water qualities problems has been ringing in all urban areas. Finally, it proves that industrialization doesn’t always have positive impacts. On the contrary, it frequently causes more damage when the country isn’t developed enough in terms of economic and health systems
