ii) Discuss thesteps to be taken to minimise environmental degradation by industry?
Answer:
The steps to be taken to minimise environmental degradation by industry are as follows:
a) To control water pollution, industrial effluents need to be treated on all three levels. (Primary, Secondary and Tertiary); the use of water for processing should be minimised via reuse and recycling; rainwater can be harvested to meet water requirements and ground water should be regulated by law.
b) For the minimisation of air pollution, smoke stacks should be fitted to factores with electrostatic precipitators, fabric filters, scrubbers and inertial separators. Smoke can be reduced by using oil or gas instead of coal.
c) Noise pollution can be controlled by fitting generators with silencers, redesigning machinery to reduce noise and using ear plugs and ear phones besides other noise absorbing material.
