Abstract

All human beings around the globe depend upon the healthy natural environment in which they can live for the full enjoyment of their life, health, food, water and sanitation. Today, the growing needs of human being demand for huge energy due to fast industrialization, increasing number of vehicles and luxury items like AC, refrigerators etc. The requirement and needs of more and more energy usually generates the acute problem of global warming and eventually it turns into greenhouse effect and the natural calamities. As known, there is a direct relationship between global warming and natural disaster. Global warming refers to the impact on the storm formation by decreasing the temperature difference between the poles and equators. Warmer temperature refers a hotter and more humid environment due to the increase in the water vapour that enters the atmosphere. Now-a-days, temperatures are getting a rise worldwide due to greenhouse gases trapping more heat in the temperature. This indicates more possibilities of droughts, tropical storms, less snowpack in mountain ranges. On the other hand, sugar industries are known for generating the environmental pollution especially water pollution and soil pollution. When untreated waste water of sugar industry is discharged, then it will affect the surface water and soil quality too at a large extent. This paper reveals about the causes of global warming and soil pollution in the light of sugar industries.
