“The Industrial Pollution has not only affected the ecology but also the holistic health of urban and rural population of India. The Industrial Pollution has been manifested in terms of population of air, water and soil that lead to imbalance in atmospheric pressure. The second monsoon is affected. The crops are affected. The entire livelihood support is adversely affected by Industrial Pollution. In some areas Industrial Pollution leads to acid rains. A good number of industries have adopted eco-friendly technology and practices to reduce greenhouse emission. The practices of such industries need to be replicated by others. The “polluter pays’ principle needs to be honoured by all companies. This volume deals with various dimensions of industrial pollution and promising practices of some leading industries of India. This book provides research based observations and insights for addressing industrial pollution in India. The eco-friendly practices of four leading industries of Chhattisgarh such as: Bharat Aluminium col. Ltd., Korba, Jindal Steel and Power Limited, Raigarh, Century Cement, Raipur and Bhilai Steel Plant, Bhilai have been vividly elaborated in this volume. This book will provide guidelines to policy makers, corporate executives, researchers and environmentalists on developing appropriate strategies for managing industrial pollution.” (jacket)
