Industrial pollution at its peak. we need to be aware.
Darpreet Singh
Industrial pollution is the pollution which can be directly linked with industry. This form of pollution is one of the leading causes of pollution worldwide. There are a number of forms of industrial pollution. Industrial pollution can also impact air quality, and it can enter the soil, causing widespread environmental problems.
Industrial activities are a major source of air, water and land pollution, leading to illness and loss of life all over the world. The World Health Organisation estimates that outdoor air pollution alone accounts for around 2% of all heart and lung diseases, about 5% of all lung cancers, and about 1% of all chest infections.
Then What To Do?
Certified sustainable solution to reduce industrial pollution:
Harnessing the power of sodium bicarbonate:
The principle is quite straightforward: A sodium-based sorbent is injected straight into the exhaust, where it reacts with the noxious molecules generated by combustion (in what’s called flue gases) such as Hydrochloric Acid (HCl), Sulfur Trioxide (SO3), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), but also dioxins, particulates and heavy metals. The resulting sodium chemicals can then be easily captured by a filter and removed from the facility’s emissions with rates that can reach up to 99% for SOX, for example.
Noxious gas reduction: environmental & business sustainability combined
Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans.

Because of all this, the Solar Impulse Foundation, created by Bertrand Piccard, the Swiss pilot who in 2016 flew around the world powered only by solar energy, added SOLVAir® to its list of Efficient Solutions, a selection of 1,000 products, services and technologies “that protect the environment in a profitable way.”
This is the second time a Solvay solution has been awarded the World Alliance’s label, following the bio-based and non-toxic biostimulant Agrho GSB® earlier this year. “The selected solutions have to be technologically viable, scientifically proven and liable to be economically successful, on top of having an undeniable environmental benefit,” explains Guy-Noël Sauvion, Fellow Scientist at Solvay’s Research & Innovation department, and as such, one of the experts who take part in the assessment of candidate solutions for the Foundation’s labeling. “Thanks to our Sustainable Portfolio Management system (SPM), Solvay is well positioned to submit technologies and services likely to be labeled as Efficient Solutions, and conversely, the Foundation provides us with an external and objective point of view on our solutions, which is always beneficial.”
