industrial pollution
Manufacturing environmental damage
Industrial pollution refers to contamination of air, water, or soil caused by manufacturing, processing, and other industrial activities.
Factories and plants release various pollutants including chemicals, heavy metals, particulate matter, and greenhouse gases as byproducts of production.
The term encompasses both point-source pollution from specific facilities and the broader environmental degradation associated with industrial zones.
