Abstract

It seems that industries have, in common, a broad philosophy "all forms of business and manufacturing”. From this, one is apt to realise that the term industrial waste describes discarded materials from any of these business or manufacturing operations. As each of these produces its own particular products so also they must discharge their own characteristic waste. Wastes from industries usually originate from raw material washings, intermediate products, spilled product or even in some cases of spilled raw materials and clean up. Besides industrial wastes, we have the toilet waste or community waste which individually or jointly forms a type of washing which is known as ‘"sewage” . Broadly, the wastes emanating from industrial installations and communities big or small-in liquid form are classified as “waste water”.

Abstract

Environmental disruption in Japan is a big problem owing to her post-war development of industrialisation and urbanisation. An International Symposium on Environmental Disruption sponsored by the UNESCO along with the Japanese Science Council was held in Tokyo in the month of March 1970. Following this, another International Symposium, sponsored by the Osaka Prefectural Government, on “Problems of Human Environment” at Osaka was also held. The subject matter of these symposia as well as the various visits by the author are reported in to day’s deliberations. We will try to focus on the subject based on our experience in Japan as well as various discussions We had among the delegates during those symposia.
