ENVIRONMENTAL ECOSYSTEM AND INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION AT THOOTHUKUDI DISTRICT, TAMILNADU/Okolisni sustav i industrijsko zaga[eth]enje u podrucju Thoothukudi, Tamilnadu

The focus of this paper is to investigate the environmental ecosystem in Thoothukudi district. Chemical industry, power plant and marine fishing affect the ecosystem of the area. Airborne emissions emitted from various industries are the cause of major concern. These emissions are of two forms such as, suspended particulate matter (SPM) and gaseous emission of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon monoxide. The emission of industrial and petrochemical ozone layer occurs in the part of stratosphere at 10 km-50 km above the surface. The chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) process reducing the ocean layer thickness then allows the UV from the sun to affect human beings and ecosystem on the surface. The ozone absorbs the UV radiation without itself being consumed and the UV light converts into heat due to the industrial pollution. The industrial pollution caused by chemicals, power and atomic waste used to affect the ecosystem in the industrial city of Thoothukudi.
