Industrial pollution load assessment by industrial pollution projection system (IPPS)

Abstract

Growing awareness of the harmful effects on the environment caused by industrial activities has led to increasing pressure from local communities, groups, environmental organizations, and government regulators on industries to reduce their pollutant emissions. The need for industrial pollution assessment in the developing countries (where necessary information to set priorities, strategies, and action plans on environmental issues are lacking) has led to the development of the Industrial Pollution Projection System (IPPS) by the World Bank. IPPS is a cheap and rapid environmental management tool for pollution load estimation towards the development of appropriate policy formulation for industrial pollution control.
