摘要：Textile industries are the major source of environmental pollution in terms of quality and
quantity. The textile industries consume large quantities of water (200 m3
/ton of product) out of which
around 90% is released as wastewater. Textile wastewater contains dye as the major pollutant which
is not only recalcitrant but also imparts intense colour to the waste effluent. Improper disposal of textile
wastewater causes serious environmental problems affecting the aquatic organism adversely. The
present study deals with the detailed study of environmental issues. This paper reviews the textile
production process with the source of solid, liquid and gaseous pollution, their impact on environment
and environmental issues in chemical dyeing and printing industries.
