Effect of Industrial Pollution on Crop Productivity

  • Chapter
Crop Production and Global Environmental Issues

Abstract

Industrial effluents are a major health concern for all living matter on Earth. The components of these effluents are adversely affecting the environment, causing an imbalance in nature and as a result, in the natural processes going on in the ecosystems. When disturbed, the balance among these ecosystems causes the living organisms in it to adapt to these changes by acting out alternately at various metabolic and biochemical levels. Plants being the foundation of the food chain, and not being able to move, are the major concern at this point in as much as they uptake the harmful substances from the environment and accumulate them in their system, affecting their own health as well the health of all the consumers directly or indirectly depending on them for their food. Several crop plants cultivated as a major food source for humans worldwide need to be paid attention for adverse effects on developmental processes and yield as the agricultural soils are irrigated by water polluted with industrial wastes. As the title indicates, in this chapter we are concerned with the types of substances industrial wastes can contain, their uptake by the plant influencing the uptake, transfer, and movement of other nutrients, and the effect they cause on the growth and biomass of crop plants.
