This work introduces a new approach to integrating the discharges of industrial processes with macroscopic watershed systems.

The purpose of the present study was to describe the pattern of Spatial Pollution Rose pattern in the neighbourhood of thermal power stations in Neyveli, near 200 km south west of Chennai.

Textile processing plants operating in and around Kolkata utilize a wide variety of dyes and other chemicals. Many of these chemicals are not retained in the final textile product but are discarded after they have served their purpose or are driven off into the atmosphere during heat treatment. The main aim of this study is to determine the quantity of material loss during the dying operation in a mechanized textile dyeing industry.

Very high levels of a range of pharmaceuticals have been reported recently in the effluent from a wastewater treatment plant near Hyderabad, India. The plant serves approximately 90 manufacturers of bulk drugs that primarily are exported to the world market. Fluoroquinolone antibiotics were found at levels that are highly toxic to various microorganisms.

Patancheru, near Hyderabad, India, is a major production site for the global bulk drug market. Approximately 90 manufacturers send their wastewater to a common treatment plant in Patancheru. Extraordinary high levels of a wide range of pharmaceuticals have recently been demonstrated in the treated effluent. As little as 0.2% of this effluent can strongly reduce the growth rate of tadpoles, but the underlying mechanisms of toxicity are not known. To begin addressing how the effluent affects aquatic vertebrates, rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were exposed to 0.2% effluent for 5 d.
