Industrial wastewater and its ecological damages In Algeria |
|---|
|
Water is involved in all major industrial activities. It comes in contact with mineral or organic raw materials, it dissolves or comes with it. These are the reasons why each industrial activity generates polluting waste, often donated directly to water (factories located beside rivers to facilitate transport and other amenities). This article attempts to characterize the pollution of industrial waste through the study of its harmfulness and their effects on the environment. The history of industrial development was built in partnership with the water. Factories are still located on the edge of the water (river, canal or sea) for various reasons: - Transportation facilities for raw materials and finished products - The opportunity to carry to water many and varied industrial tasks: the entire history of industrial techniques is related to the use of water - Rejection amenities of byproducts or waste generated during manufacturing operations. The water brings a unique set of physical and chemical properties it can become solvent, thermal fluid or just easy to handle liquid. These properties explain why water is involved in all major industrial activities factories use water repeatedly during successive stages of the manufacturing line. For most technical and manufacturing operations, the water comes into contact with inorganic or organic raw materials. It dissolves the partially or completely or causes them to the state of colloidal suspensions. Using the water is practically "accept polluting it" ... In fact, all industrial activity generates polluting discharges that contain all the by-products and raw material losses that could not be recovered or recycled, and the big problem is when Industrial wastewater discharged into the Mediterranean Sea ,it gives an ecological disaster as the ecological disaster that affects the Bay of Bousmail . This bay undergoes 11 domestic wastewater discharges and two industrial water spills, rejected by both industrial areas Chaiba and Bousmail, which constitutes a real danger to the environment and the sea. For several months the shore of the city of Bousmail is invaded by unbearable and nauseating odors that come from sea water which is oddly colored. The rocks have lost their original color and has turned white. The sea is heavily polluted due to wastewater from food industries and paper mills installed on the heights of the city in the absence of wastewater treatment. Maritime school students in this area have collected black urchins inside, especially genetically modified and condemned to no longer REPRODUCED and the disappearance of octopus and other marine species because of this ecological disaster. |

Great report. Thanks for drawing the attention Sara. Euthropication, biodiversity loss, lethal mutant are the dangers posed by hapak Ard and unmanaged deposition of industrial waste into our water system such needs to be controlled and better treatment needs to be implemented ASAP

It is saddening to see shore of city of Bousmail polluted heavily as clearly demonstrated in the pictures. Yeah many factories and industries are built up near water resources for convenience but the owners dump the industrial wastage directly without even basic screening. Laws from the government level or community level can settle this issue and we youths can take active role by disseminating the information.
Thank you for sharing teh real issue of your country dear Sara.

Industrial waste water not only pollutes water but creates other serrious issues regarding health ,different animals and plants existence.This should be controlled soon to avoid the hazardous consequences.As you mentioned the concerned government officials have promised to sort out this problem,hope it happens soon.Thanks for sharing Sara.

Factories must has sustainable concepts into their management!!! Government and people are they key to solve the problem. It shows that we still have a lot to do. Lets keep working. Thanks for sharing Sara!!! =)

Pictures show how serious it is . This is certainly not a sustainable development . Industries should not be given license to set up if they are closer to water source or in populated /residential area. Industries like these, by polluting water , are causing a serious damage to marine animals , health of residents in the neighbourhood and of course the appearance of the place. I hope that authorties take it up on top priority and sort it out. Thanks for sharing , Sara.

Thanks Sara, for the attention drawn to this serious issue of industrial waste and uncontrolled pollution

Great Article to raise such awareness .This is such gross , why isnt the law stopping such kind of large water pollution ? The factories should be fined and they must dispose their waste in such a way it doesnt harm the environment or it can cause large damage to the environment , effecting the aquatic life adversely .
