together comprises to be a positive indicator towards the rejuvenation of ecological
balance and biodiversity. Sadly, the most disastrous and alarming situation of our
environment, which Earth was suffering for decades was nothing but the result of
ever growing greed of mankind to enforce its sovereignty globally [50].
Crystal clear water bodies, fresh air, blue skies, or the overcast weather in
metropolitan cities are the pure indicators of the reduced pollution levels markedly
during lockdown. These reductions in pollution levels have also helped the aquatic
ecosystem to heal and flourish. With this understanding of natural recovery, we try
to focus on the further reduction in water, air, noise, and soil pollution of the entire
world as these upgraded environmental improvements are temporary for now. So
there is an immense need to discover a better and sustainable way of fighting with
the increasing pollution levels for our better tomorrow [70].
6.2 Categories and Impact of Industrial Pollution
Humans have always thrived to obtain more and more, the consequence of this never
ending greed of humans continued with the setting up of various types of industries
including both small as well as large-scale industries [64]. From the mid-eighteenth
century to the early nineteenth century the industrial revolution has brought an
extreme change in the social and economical lives of humans. The benefits of this
revolution are experienced even today but with that come to the consequences as well.
One thing that has followed the industrial revolution is industrial pollution. These
industries prepare a variety of products from raw materials as per the increasing
demand but with never ceasing greed and desire to be perfect, a large amount of
load has turned on toward the environment which is now surrounded from technoecosystem. At the start only small-scale industries existed and the pollution was
limited to minimum, smog being the primary pollutant. However, advancement in
science and technology changed the situation and these industries got converted into
large plants, spreading all across the globe, resulting in increased level of pollutants
which are today a major concern globally. Industrial installation largely takes place
in the areas which are closer to the urban areas and near water bodies. This makes
waste management and supplies easier for the companies plus more labor at cheap
cost allows the industries to work day and night. The government set up large industries to boost their economies, they have also made sure of some ground rules which
do not allow malfunctioning industries to release all their waste into the surrounding
environment hence, they need to take some proper measures. However, the execution of these laws is quite poor and the government is also overlooking this issue.
To maintain the resilience in the society and to make sure it doesn’t get vulnerable
to extreme events demographic, industrial, or economic it is important to make sure
that the natural balance does not get disturbed [23]. These recurring environmental
problems are not just intensifying the disasters but also can make sure to lead a
potential secondary disaster. Japan’s Ministry of Environment has a study conducted
on air pollution which suggests that acid rain during hurricanes and typhoons is
