Heavily polluting industries

Heavily polluting industries are sectors that produce significant amounts of waste and emissions, impacting air, water, and land quality. Examples include coal-fired power plants, steel manufacturing, cement production, and chemical industries. These industries often release pollutants like greenhouse gases, heavy metals, and particulate matter, which contribute to climate change, health problems, and environmental degradation. While essential for economic development, they pose challenges for sustainable growth and require regulations and cleaner technology to reduce their environmental footprint.
