In the mid 1800s the Parliamentary Acts that was formulated to tackle the polluting EFFECTS of industrial and domestic smoke. The most important concern that occurred with the development was the intensive use of hydrocarbon fuels: coal, oil and natural gas.

Impact on environment:

• Fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas release the huge amount of industrial waste products that gets released into lakes, RIVERS, and other water bodies, that results in water pollution.
• Releasing harmful and poisonous gases by the industries leads to air pollution.
• Some industries require extraction of minerals from beneath the earth that causes soil pollution when released on the earth as they are inefficient in DISPOSING the waste.
• One of the direct cause of global warming is the release of carbon DIOXIDE gas due to the burning of coal and oil. This results in the depletion of ozone layer.
• Various construction debris, petrochemical contamination, from transport and fuels, heavy metals and CHEMICALS discharged or left behind by industries results in the land pollution.
