industrial discharge
Industrial discharge refers to the release of waste materials or pollutants into the environment from factories and industrial operations. This can include chemicals, heavy metals, and other toxins that may come from manufacturing processes, wastewater, or runoff. Such discharges can impact air, water, and soil quality, potentially harming ecosystems and human health. To manage these risks, many countries have regulations requiring industries to treat waste before release and monitor their environmental impact, ensuring sustainable practices and protecting public health and the environment.
