A few residents in your locality, for business gains, have established small-scale industrial/commercial activities such as pathological labs and fabric dyeing centres without obtaining ‘No objection certificates’ from municipal authorities.

Would you support these activities? Give any three reasons in support of your answer.

No, these activities would not be supported by anyone, because

1. The industrial activities will release its toxic gases into the atmosphere and other chemicals into the nearby atmosphere resources without treating it properly and which results in pollution of air, water, and soil.

2. Firstly permission is required and the land acquired for these activities should be at a location where people or neighborhoods are least affected.

3. For disposal of wastes, proper monitoring is required. Because path labs wastes can be infectious and toxic and also those including from other industries waste also harmful to the environment as well as living beings.
