Abstract

Barry Commoner, American biologist once said, “Environmental pollution is an incurable disease. It can only be prevented”. But instead of preventing we are aggravating it. Around 7.4 Lacks people die in India annually because of abnormal temperatures due to climate change according to a recent Lancets study. 51% of air pollution in India is due to industries. Indians are exposed to 25 micrograms per cubic metre above World Health Organisations limit of 10 micrograms per cubic metre of particulate matter. We know how much industrial pollution has been damaging our environment, but do we have effective laws in order to protect citizens of India against environmental offenders? Are existing laws and legislation efficient enough to punish the offenders and protect the victims? We do not have any systematic approach for making Industrial sector accountable and responsible towards proper management of waste effluents as it contributes around 50% of environment pollution. Industries like leather, cement, plastic, garments, sugar, steel and petroleum are the major polluting industries. The objective of this paper is to throw light on the important issue of mismanagement of our future and future of our generations so that some useful solutions can come out.
