Expert Answer
The causes of industrial pollution are:
- Chemical and cement industries, cotton and paper mills, and oil refineries cause air pollution.
- Smoke emitted by these industries can cause serious health hazards as it includes dust, carbon, metals and radioactive elements.
- Burning of coal in thermal power plants releases SO2. When SO2 combines with oxygen and water, it produces sulphuric acid. This results in acid rain.
- Industrialised cities experience high air pollution because of smoke and dust emitted by factories.
