Environmental pollution is a major concern for a developed country. The share of pollution contribution is much higher from developed countries however developing countries are subjected to the effects of environmental pollution. Air, water, noise, soil and industrial pollution are the main types of polluting elements in Pakistan. Legislation exists in the form of National conservation strategy and PEPA act. Few units of industrial sectors are monitoring effluents however maximum units are neither installing recycling plants nor monitoring the effluents. Ground water in areas adjacent to industrial sectors is getting adversely affected.
