This metropolis is a hub for leather industries, chemical substance industries as well as automobile and mechanical industries.It ranks 8 in the roughly polluted cities on the survey conducted by The Central Pollution visualize Board (CPCB) in conjunction with IIT-Delhi. The reflexion of pollution in this city was conducted with an aim to study the sources of pollution in the city and measures to control it. The observation of pollution was done by roaming around in the city surrounded by chittoor bus assume to new bus stand . The fast industrial maturement is responsible for the pollution. KEYWORDS Historical destination, conjuction, pollution. INTRODUCTION Since the industrial revolution the world has witnessed the rapid expansion of its cities.For years humans demand been flocking to these urban centres in essay of jobs, commodities, entertainment and opposite phenomenathat potentiometer commonly be found in cities. 1 Pollution of Environment or environmental pollution means making the environment foul. Our environment means the touch of our house w present we live, the surrounding of our colony where we live or the surrounding of our town or city where we live. If our surrounding gets polluted we suffer from many kinds of disease and sickness. If our surrounding gets highly polluted, our intent gets endangered. 2 Modern evelopment surgeryes, especially industrialization, have come out in for a majuscule deal of criticism for their utter disregard for the environment. Trash and garbage is a common sight in urban and rural atomic number 18as of India. It is a major source of pollution. 3 Street corners are piled with trash. Public places and sidewalks are despoiled with vulgarism and litter, rivers and canals act as garbage dumps. 4 Air pollutionis a proficient issue with the major sources being terminatewood and biomass burning, fuel adulteration, vehicle emission and craft congestion. 5 In urban field of honors, vehicle emissions are another source of tenor pollution.Vehicle emissions are worsened by fuel adulteration and poor fuel combustion effi ciencies from traffic congestion and low density of quality, high travel rapidlyroad networkper 1000 people.. 6 Rapid urbanization during the recent decades has disposed rise to a number of environmental problems such as irrigate supply, bollocks up pissing generation and its collection, treatment and disposal. Vellore city which came up on the bank of palar river have not given a proper archetype to the problems of harry urine, sewerage and so forth In urban areas, the languish piss supply is let pop out un do by and causes large scale water pollution. 7 METHODOLOGYTo find out the source of the pollution and think over the measures to control it the region between chittoor bus stand and new bus stand of vellore city was selected as the locale for this study. The observation of the pollution was carried out by roaming around the streets. Photographs were taken out and normal discussion of source of pollution was done with local people. The local people were asked about the difficulties they face due to the pollution and how can we overcome this from their point of view. Use of internet and e- book of accounts were taken to study more about this problem and to check it. RESULTFrom the above study we came to know that the pollution in vellore city is no more different from other cities. The common sites seen were roadside garbage dumping, unhygienic area around water sources, a ir pollution due to emission of gases by vehicles, accumulation of hearty languish and poor sanitation. This problem is common to almost every city in India. The common traditional known sources of air pollution are power workingss, industries, road dust, construction work, garbage burning, vehicle exhaust and national fuels. The sources of get pollution are garbage dumping and improper disposal of unfaltering waste.The sources of water pollution are sewage discharge from industries, poor sanitation, disposal of waste in water sources and religious sources. DISCUSSIONS AND FINDINGS The important landmarks that come between old chittoor bus stand of vellore to new bus stand of vellore are Pillayar koil, thiru nagar, silk mill, gandhinagar, doordarshan, virthumpet and new bridge road over the palar river. Problems related to city Use of tetrapacks, p in the endic plates, cups and bags, tin cans and similar throw-away items has increased in the last decade.Lack of proper waste co llection, segregation and management systems and poor sanitary conditions are aggravating health problems. The reason for the contamination of the give water in Vellore is because the tanneries are dumping their effluents into citys lifelinethe Palar River. All the tanneries here from Vaniampadi to Ranipet dump their effluents into the river. 8 Problem related to palar river bed The Palar River bed is dry most of the year because it is a seasonal river. It stirs to life every year during the monsoon. When the river is innocent(p) of water the riverbed is quarried for its 15 feet of sand.Palar is the primary source of drinking water for the residents of Vellore. But those who live in this city made famous by the super speciality hospital, Christian Medical College, say that the clear water of Palar has turned into blood red. A local environment group, Pasumai Thayagam, affirms that the red unhealthful water has destroyed sources of potable drinking water in unhomogeneous localiti es of Vellore like Ambur, Vaniampadi and Ranipet. Measures taken by government to check pollution in vellore Exnora Green Cross, supported by UNICEF, initiated a pilot project on unharmed waste management in a ward of Vellore municipality in 2000.ZWM Zero Waste vigilance is a system of managing solid wastes that strives for maximum waste recuperation through cycle and reuse, aiming at zero waste generation. It minimizes pollution of ground water and air by doing away with disposal of wastes at dumpsites and land? lls. Zero waste management integrates the informal recycling sector (ragpickers and waste collectors) into the solid waste management system providing opport unit of measurementies for income generation. Possible measures that can be taken 1. Conversion of waste newspaper into pepwood Conversion of waste paper into pulp articles is an old art.We can reduce garbage by recycling the waste paper in a decentralized manner. It will table service in prevention of burning of waste paper & ? lthy sights. Women/SHG members/unemployed youths/ by and by receiving thorough training can undertake this activity. 2. Liquid Waste Management through Root Zone Treatment Under the liquid waste management practices at community level, the waste water from toilets is being treated naturally through Root Zone Treatment Method (Natural plant based system). The treated water (5500 liter per day for 50 somebodys occupancy) is recycled for toilet flushing and landscaping purposes. . Eco Friendly plastic fuel Conversion of waste plastic into liquid hydrocarbons/ energy Prof. Mrs. Alka Umesh Zadgaonkar, Head of Department of Applied Chemistry at the Nagpur based G. H. Raisoni College of Engineering, invented an Environment friendly catalyticadditive process for disposal of waste plastic. The invented process involves degradation of waste plastic using catalytic-additive and is different from the generally exist pyrolytic processes. The products obtained in the process a re Liquid hydrocarbons, Gas and counterweight Coke.It is a major breakthrough in the arena of non-conventional sources of energy 4. opprobrious water management from community toilet EXNORA International Chennai, through its unit in Tiruchi District, has taken up construction of Decentralized Waste water system Treatment System (DEWATS), which is ideally suited for small colonies, apartments, slum areas etc. Salient features Decentralized treatment of black water. Reuse of treated water for raising trees, vegetables. Use of biogas for cooking and lighting. No Electricity or chemical is used for treatment. Very easy for operation and maintenance since it does not have hazardous or complicated machinery. CONCLUSION Urbanisation brings prosperity tho at the same time creates environmental problems like pollution, accumulation of solid waste and poor sanitation. . In this context, solid waste management is an area of challenge and of innovation for urban planners and city corpora tions. A zero waste management (ZWM) project by NGO Exnora Green Cross, initially piloted with UNICEF, in Tamil Nadus Vellore district is an example of a successful solid waste management programme and its bene? s.
