Abstract The increased population has led to an increase in the demand for goods which in turn has caused rapid industrialization. In turn the increase in industrial set-ups has led to the increased production of industrial wastes. These industrial wastes cause major environmental havoc by polluting the water, air and soil.
The following case study has been undertaken to bring forth the hazardous effects of improper industrial waste disposal around residential areas. For this, we have taken the TTC Industrial Area, Navi Mumbai as our prime location of study. This case study has been carried out by administering a questionnaire to the residents of the surrounding areas, taking under consideration the air quality index and testing the water sample acquired from the sewer located near the residential area of TTC Industrial Area, Navi Mumbai where industrial waste is directly disposed.
The objectives of this paper are to explore the impact of air and water pollution on human health. The study discusses the various parameters from the water sample of the sewer. We performed meta-analysis of environmental epidemiologic monitoring data for residents living near sewer. The respiratory and allergic symptoms and the prevalence of acute and chronic diseases, including cancer, were used as the outcome variables for health effects. After adjusting for age, sex, smoking status, occupational exposure, level of education, and body mass index, the residents near the industrial complexes were found to have more respiratory symptoms, such as cough. This study showed that residents living in the vicinity of industrial complexes have a high risk of acute and chronic diseases including respiratory and allergic conditions. These results can be used as basic objective data for developing health management measures for individuals residing near industrial complexes.
