Abstract

The majority of garbage that is dumped into the environment is the consequence of industrial activity, and this waste contains toxic and dangerous substances that have properties. Untreated industrial effluents have repeatedly affected the environment and human health. Additionally, the aim of this review is to determine if water treatment conforms to DWAF and USEPA criteria and to evaluate specific wastewater treatment facilities. Additionally, the effluent from companies was assessed after being collected utilizing composite sampling methods. The findings recognized pH, rivers, and industrial activities. This is a warning sign that the water is unsafe, demonstrating that industrial effluents are contributing to a reduction in river water quality. Receiving water near numerous food-processing facilities showed significant reductions after effluent discharge. As a result, when developing mitigation strategies, governments should consider this. Some of these strategies are enforcing the pollution laws that are already in place; setting up treatment facilities; turning industrial waste into biogas; educating the public; starting programs; and passing laws.
