<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Brick kilns, refineries, and smelting plants are major contributors of air pollution. Textile and dyeing, tanneries, and electroplating industries let out untreated pollutants into the water bodies causing water pollution. Many industries release hot water from factories and thermal power plants directly into the rivers and ponds resulting in Thermal pollution. Factory equipment, generators and electric drills contribute to noise pollution. Radioactive wastes from nuclear power plants cause cancers, birth defects and miscarriages.
