ASSESSMENT OF HEALTH RELATED ISSUES IN AIR POLLUTIONS AROUND INDUSTRIAL AREA: THE PERILS AND REMEDIES

This study assessed health related issues in air pollutions around industrial area, analysing the perils and remedies. Air pollution is a significant environmental health threat, particularly around industrial zones where the concentration of harmful pollutants tends to be highest. In carrying out this research, the following subheads were explored among many others: concept of air pollution and concept of industrial areas. Respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases and cancer (particularly lung cancer) among many others were mentioned as the types of health related issues from air pollution around industrial areas. The study also mentioned the cases of health related issues caused by air pollution around industrial areas to include: asthma and respiratory issues in children, cardiovascular health impacts in residents of industrial areas and lung cancer in industrial workers to mention but a few. The study concluded that industrial air pollution poses serious health risks, especially in areas near manufacturing zones, where harmful substances like particulate matter and toxic gases are commonly emitted. One of the recommendations made was that governments should enforce stricter emission control laws for industries and establish continuous air quality monitoring systems in industrial areas to detect and address harmful pollutant levels promptly
