Abstract :

Natural resources were virtually untouched in the universe for millions of years that built up the capacity of the Earth. However, the vast industrial revolution for a couple of hundred years at unimaginable rates aided by the technological inventions and innovations by super efficient capitalist firms had resulted in the exploitation of natural resources and their wastes are invariably and seriously damaging the quality of air, water and land causing environmental pollution. The environmental regulations were that main focus centered on water pollution, ignoring the problems of air pollution and solid wastes. Moreover, environmental regulations imposed on tanning industry are all domestic and thereby having weak governance and surveillance nature. This weak enforcement has accelerated fraudulent activities in Indian tanning industry. There are certain domestic standard for pH, total suspended solids, sulphides and chrome that the tannery effluent shall not exceed, which takes care of the negative externalities generated by the tanning industry within the domestic territory. India’s policy response to the challenges of environmental standard was reactive rather than pro-active, lacking long-run perspective. The speed of response was relatively slower in realizing the potential supply of raw hides, tannery modernization and restructuring of manufacturing units. The main objective of the present study is to understand the various environmental impacts related to it. Therefore, this research paper mainly concentrates on the Environmental and its impact in the humanity.
