Pollution Caused By Factories
The presence of chemicals, particulates or biological compounds in the atmosphere can harm human and animal health and damage the environment. Factories and other industrial installations have caused such pollution since the dawn of the industrial age by burning fuels, carrying out chemical processes and releasing dust and other particulates. Pollution is often worse in developing countries which have few environmental regulations that control factory production.
For example, the popularity of mass-produced factory cell phones and consumer electronics has increased the amount of heavy metals in the environment. Heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury and arsenic are introduced to the environment during factory production as well as when a consumer throws them away. These metals are toxic to things living in soil, animals and humans, sometimes causing immediate death. They can also accumulate in smaller amounts inside the body over time leading to chronic illness.
Factory processes involve varied combinations of cleaning, painting and heating, while other raw material or appliance treatments release volatile organic compounds into the atmosphere. These are carbon- or hydrocarbon-based chemicals that quickly evaporate in the air. In the presence of sunlight, they react with other air pollutants like sulfur or nitrogen oxides from vehicle exhausts to create peroxyacetyl nitrates, commonly known as photochemical smog. This looks like a thick brown haze and can linger for days or weeks over urban centers.
Air pollution can be controlled through the installation of filters and scrubbers to clean exhaust fumes from factory processes, and by taking steps to minimize the generation of pollution at the source. But Angenium is one step ahead. There is a special sorbent with the help of which we are now able to extract metals from industrial waste.
