Abstract

The increased population has led to an increase in the demand for goods which results in rapid industrialization. Demands for goods are directly proportional to the number of industries. In turn, the increase in industrial set-ups has led to the increased production of industrial wastes. These industrial wastes cause major environmental havoc by polluting the water air and soil. In this paper we will discuss about the load of industrial waste and its effect on the Kanpur city by disposal of pollutants. As we know Kanpur city has nearly 800 industries. The city of the Kanpur in the north Indian state Uttar Pradesh is famed for its leather industry, meeting national and international demands for superior quality leather. The industry, which employes thousands and earns a lot of revenue however, has a notorious side to it. It is a source of hazardous Pollution that environmentalists say, is gradually killing the city. Each day, the tanneries pump out about 30 Crore litres of polluted water into adjucent, Ganges river. While city's water treatment unit has a capacity of treating 17 crore litres per day, Kanpur also generates 400 tones of solid waste water pollution through the discharge of industrial effluents is causing severe problems. The pollutants include As, Cr, Cd, Cu, Fe, Hg, Pb and Zn which are considered as toxicants. This research article presents a review on the toxicity of chromium and its health hazards on living organism based on the previous research is done.
