Industrial pollution is considered an important factor to contaminate the environment. It results in

Textile, cement, glass, plastic, sugar, tanning, petroleum are major polluting industries. Little or no
attention is paid to this grave issue of industrial pollution.
There is no systematic approach used by many industrial sectors for proper disposal and drainage of
their harmful effluent. The industrial sector should be held accountable for their responsibilities
towards proper management of waste effluent, as it contributes to about 50% of the environmental
pollution. It creates great social costs in a developing country like Bangladesh. Currently there is no
effective management and controlled practices for pollution prevention and control, but authorities
have started to pay attention in this regard. Pollution control has become the primary concern of the
environment today. The objective of this paper is to explore the impact of environmental pollution on
the environment and society. To develop an understanding of environmental degradation, the study
discusses the various types of effluents that impact the environment adversely. Recommendations for
alternative measures that can be helpful for controlling pollution.
