from the below text of class 9 icse board chapter, create questions for
exam purpose POLLUTION" AND "INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION" Pollution
is an undesirable change in the physical, chemical or biological
characteristics of our air, land and water that may harmfully affect human
lives or other species, living conditions and cultural assets. The term
pollution is generally used to refer to harmful materials introduced by man
into the environment. It includes any addition to air, water, soil or food that
is harmful to human beings and other living organisms. Industrial pollution
is the pollution which can be directly linked with industry, in contrast to
other sources of pollution. Industrial pollution hurts the environment in
many of ways, and it has negative impact on human lives and health.
Pollution-prone industries. The recently developed industrial complexes,
oil refineries, fertiliser factories, textile and sugar mills, chemical factories,
distilleries, synthetic material plant for drugs, fibres, rubber, plastics etc.
all produce a variety of pollutants which are deposited in the nearby water
sources. 16.2 INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION ACCELERATED WITH THE
START OF INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION Widespread industrial pollution
accelerated rapidly in the year of 1800 with the start of the Industrial
Revolution. The Industrial Revolution was a mechanised means of
production, allowing for a much greater volume of production, and
generating a corresponding increase in pollution. The problem was
compounded by the use of fuels like coal, which is notoriously unclean,
and a poor understanding of the causes and consequences of pollution.
16.3 FORMS OF INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION 16.3.1 Water pollution This

1/18
 is the most common form of water pollution which is caused by dumping
of industrial waste into waterways or improper contaminant of waste
which causes leakage into groundwater and waterways. Water pollution
causes severe poisioning of water in rivers, lakes, ponds etc. which is a
serious threat to aquatic lives. 16.3.2 Air pollution Industrial pollution can
also affect air quality and it can enter the soil, causing widespread
environmental problems. Major cause of air pollution is the smoke
produced by the burning of coal and mineral oil, which are burnt at
houses and in factories. This liberates SO2, CO2, CO smoke and soot,
which contaminate air. Air pollution is the commonest and most
dangerous kind of pollutions. 16.3.3. Soil pollution The solid and liquid
wastes of industries are dumped over the surface of soil. They include
scrap, effluents, sludge, flyash and radioactive wastes which add a lot of
toxic chemicals into the soil. 16.3.4. Noise Pollution Industries create a lot
of unwanted sound which interfere with communication, leisure and
relaxation. Noise pollution can cause hearing loss. It is increasing due to
the use of heary duty machineries.

from the below text of class 9 icse board chapter, create questions for
exam purpose SOURCES OF POLLUTION There are numerous sources
of air pollution. Th major sources can be classified into following
categories Sources of Air Pollution By Human Activities Automobile
exhaust Heat and power generation Industrial processes A  uto
manufacturing Chemical fertiliser plants Fuel production Solid waste
disposal Mining Pesticides Thermal pollution Brick kilns - Demolition and
Constructions By Natural Means Forest fires Volcanic eruption Duststorm
16.4.1 Air pollution due to motor vehicles Most air pollution comes from
vehicles of various types. These vehicles pump out huge quantities of
smoke and other harmful substances into air. 16.4.2 Burning garbage
Garbage includes paper, rags, hair, house-dust waste etc. Burning of
garbage is also a good source of air pollution due to smoke and
poisonous gases coming out. So garbage burning is strictly prohibited for
waste disposal. 16.4.3 Industrial waste The introduction of a wide variety
of pollutants, both biodegradable and non-biodegradable, like oil, plastics,
metallic, suspended solids, phenols and chemicals etc. generates

6/18
industrial waste. 16.4.4 Power plants Power plants produce huge
amounts of flyash, which is one of the major causes of land pollution.
16.4.5 Biomedical wastes These wastes are generated from hospital
activities including laboratories and other associated [Link]
wastes include animal remains, biological wastes, chemotherapy wastes
and stocks of infectious agents, etc..Segregation of Bio medical waste in
colour coded Bags Needles, and Cut glasses Body parts and Yellow Red
Blue Black White Fig. 16.2: Industrial Pollution 16.4.6 Chemical fertilisers
Chemical fertlisers are often washed out of the soil by rain. They
eventually drain into streams and rivers, where they nourish the algae as
effectively as they nourish farmer's crops. In this way, the whole water
body gets deteriorated. Indiscriminate use of pesticides also pollutes air,
water and soil. 16.4.7 Offshore oil drilling Oil drilling in between sea cause
a lot of water pollution and imbalance to ecosystem. Oil drilling causes a
lot of water pollution like oil spilling, air pollution, etc. which is dangerous
to aquatic animals. 16.4.8 Radiation—X-rays X-rays are electromagnetic
waves very similar to gamma rays, but originate from the outer electron
shell of radioactive substances, which are not dispersed in nature. X-ray
radiations cause radioactive pollution which is a special form of physical
pollution of air, water and soil due to the presence of radioactive
materials. 16.4.9 Radioactive fallout from nuclear plants The atomic
blasts not only produce the local ionising radiations at that time but the
radioisotopes produced as a result of explosion enter the atmosphere and
continue to fall out gradually over broad geographic areas for a very long
time. These are known as nuclear fallout or radioactive fallout. 16.4.10
Pesticides Pesticides are used in agriculture for killing weeds and insects
but this can be toxic to a host other organisms including beneficial
insects, non-target plants, fish, birds, etc. Also, this can contaminate
water, soil, turf and other vegetation. 16.4.11 Thermal Pollution The
discharge of heated effluents from industrial or other activities such as
atomic power stations, electric power generation and other factories at
tempratures that can be harmful and dangerous for the aquatic animals.
16.4.12 Brick Kilns Brick Kilns not only contaminate the air but it also
degrade soil as workers dig it up to be made into the clay which will later
on to be used for making bricks. Brick Kilns are source of black carbon
and air pollution through out the world. 16.5 MEASURES TO CONTROL
POLLUTION 16.5.1 Air pollution Air pollution strategies rely on local,
national and regional authorities setting air quality and emission
standards. Government can encourage industries to develop new and
better technologies. Various steps to control air pollution are as follows.
(1) Control technology Modifying the fuel or combustion technique or
removing pollutants from the fuel gases. (2) Catalytic reduction The use of
three ways catalytic converters to control motor vehicle pollutions. (3)
New manufacturing processes Using low-temperature hydrometallurgical
techniques which reduce sulphur dioxide emissions assoicated with

7/18
traditional metal smelting methods. Control of gaseous contaminants
Combustion: The process is like flame combustion or catalytic
combustion which is used when gases or vapours are organic in nature.
Absorption: This is the process in which effluent gases are passed
through absorbers that remove one or more of the pollutants in the gas
stream. A  dsorption: In this process, the effluent gases are passed through
adsorbents, which contain solids of porous structure. 16.5.2 Water
pollution water treatment methods (1) Chemical treatment Chemical
treatment is used to remove solids from the water. It includes coagulation,
flocculation, and sedimentation. Treatment through sand and pressure
filters, iron removal and deflourination are examples of chemical
treatment. (2) Biological treatment Biological treatment is a natural
process to help with the decomposition of organic substances. This
treatment rely on bacteria and other small organisms to break down
organic waste. A  erobic treatment: In this process, purification is carried
out by aerobes in the presence of molecular oxygen. A  naerobic
treatment: In this process, purification of waste is achieved by anaerobes
in complete absence of moleculer oxygen. 16.5.3 Industrial waste
treatment Effluents generated by various industries are not of similar
character. They vary in their chemical composition and require various
degree of treatment. Recovery from black liquor : Lignin is recovered
through acidification by carbon dioxide or sulphuric acid. Colour removal :
Lime treatment removes 90% of colour and 60% of Biological Oxygen
Demand(BOD) load. (c) Biological treatment: Oxidation ponds remove
85% of BOD load. Aerated lagoon is useful in removing organic load. 16.6
NEED FOR AN ECO-FRIENDLY FORM OF INDUSTRIAL
DEVELOPMENT Eco-friendly industrial development is one of the ways n
which industrial ecology contributes to the integration f economic growth
and environmental protection. Some of the examples of eco-industrial
development ire : Recycling dusters Green companies clusters
Redevelopment of industrial parks New development of eco-friendly
industrial parks Eco-friendly resource exchange networks Industrial
symbiosis does not limit itself to sectoral boundaries and/or geographical
restrictions. It is the diversity and the openness of industrial symbiosis
that makes it a unique approach to eco-industrial development. 16.7
ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION 16.7.1 Greenhouse effect The
greenhouse effect is a natural process in which certain gases known as
"greenhouse gases" trap heat that radiates from the earth's surface. We
all live in a global greenhouse. The air, clouds, soils, vegetation and
structures that surround us reflects and absorb and re-emit radiant energy
across the electromagnetic spectrum that arrives from the sun. Sources
of greenhouses gases : Numerious factories spread all over the world
burn immense quantities of coal, mineral oil and natural gas and spew
huge amounts of carbon dioxide together with other undesirable gases
through their chimneys into the atmosphere. 16.7.2 Global warming Due

8/18
 to greenhouse effect, the average temperature of the earth and its
atmosphere is increasing. This is called global warming. Sources of
global warming : Burning fossil fuels such as oil, coal and gas results in
the production of carbon dioxide and other gases which causes global
warming. Coal which is nearly pure carbon is almost completely
converted into carbon dioxide when it is burned; oil and gas contain
hydrogen in additon to carbon, hence both carbon dioxide and water are
released when they are burnt. Natural gas is the least carbon dioxide
producer, while synthetic gas from coal produces 80% COz more than
fuel oil. 16.7.3 Ozone layer depletion Ozone is a form of oxygen, which
consists of three atoms of oxygen bound together. Unlike oxygen, ozone
is poisonous gas, and an increase in its concentration at ground level
causes pollution. In stratosphere, where ozone exists naturally, it blocks
out the sun's ultraviolet rays. A natural balance keeps us well supplied
with ozone. Sufficient evidences are there for thinning of ozone layer.
During spring and summer, ozone layer at the middle and high latitudes is
being observed to be depleting. Ozone depletion occurs when the natural
balance between the production and destruction of stratospheric ozone is
trapped in favour of destruction.

Short Answer Questions (125-150 words)

1. Define pollution and give one example of a pollutant.

Answer: Pollution is an undesirable change in the physical, chemical, or

biological characteristics of our air, land, and water that can harm human
lives or other species. It includes any addition to air, water, soil, or food that
is harmful to human beings and other living organisms. An example of a
pollutant is sulfur dioxide (SO2), which is released from burning coal and
contributes to air pollution.
2. What is industrial pollution, and how does it affect the environment?

Answer: Industrial pollution is the pollution directly linked with industrial

activities. It affects the environment by contaminating air, water, and soil,
leading to health issues for humans and other living organisms. For
example, industrial processes release harmful gases like sulfur dioxide and
carbon dioxide into the air, while industrial waste contaminates water bodies
and soil.

 3. Name three industries that are prone to causing pollution.

Answer: Three industries that are prone to causing pollution are oil
refineries, fertilizer factories, and chemical factories. These industries
produce a variety of pollutants, including oil, plastics, metallic, suspended
solids, phenols, and chemicals, which contaminate air, water, and soil.
4. Explain how the Industrial Revolution contributed to industrial pollution.

Answer: The Industrial Revolution, which began around 1800, introduced

mechanized production methods that significantly increased the volume of
goods produced. This increase in production led to a corresponding rise in
pollution. The use of fuels like coal, which is notoriously unclean,
exacerbated the problem. Additionally, there was a poor understanding of
the causes and consequences of pollution during this time.
5. Describe one form of industrial pollution and its impact on the environment.

Answer: One form of industrial pollution is water pollution, which is caused

by the dumping of industrial waste into waterways or improper disposal of
waste that leaks into groundwater. This pollution poisons water in rivers,
lakes, and ponds, posing a serious threat to aquatic life and contaminating
drinking water sources.
6. What are the main causes of air pollution from industries?

Answer: The main causes of air pollution from industries include the
burning of coal and mineral oil, which release harmful gases like sulfur
dioxide (SO2), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), smoke, and
soot into the air. These pollutants contaminate the air and pose significant
health risks to humans and other living organisms.
