Introduction
Business and ecology are closely connected.
Unplanned industrial growth disturbs ecology and ecological balance.

What is ecology?
Ecology refers to the scientific study of the interactions between living organisms and their environments.

What is ecological balance?

Ecological balance is a state in which all ECOSYSTEM inputs are equal to the system outputs.

What is business?
A business refers to an organization involved in the trade of goods, services or both to consumers.

Relationship between business & Ecology

Unplanned industrialization is dangerous Pollution control at business level is required Business has to bring ecological balance Environment protection by the businessmen Awareness among businessmen

History
After the invention of machine from printing press to vehicles, the menace of pollution started enveloping the environment into its negative effects. Unplanned industrialization even in developed countries stirred up its spread and vehicular emissions added the pollution in the air.

 However, after some time the menace of pollution was felt by educated lot but nothing was done practically to contain it. In the second half of twentieth century the ghost of pollution has affected negatively all types of environment including air, water and noise. It also negatively impacted the health of human and other living beings.

 Thereafter some people of modern times joined their heads to combat this menace. They adopted various pollution control measures which we will discuss in later parts.

Industrialization & Environmental Pollution

Closely connected
Disturbs ecological environment Ecological degradation Adverse effects on environment - Pollution - Urbanization - Depletion of natural resources

The major adverse effect of industrialization on ecological environment is. Environmental Pollution. Following are the results of environmental pollution: - Industrial Air Pollution - Industrial waste and Water Pollution - Industries, Transport & Sound Pollution

 Industrial Air Pollution

 Industrial waste and Water Pollution

 Industries, Transport & Sound Pollution

Need for pollution control

Maintaining ecological balance To overcome ecological degradation To avoid adverse effects of pollution To avoid deforestation and soil pollution To protect the health of people

Measures to control environmental pollution

Introduction of eco-friendly technology

Production of eco friendly products

Execution of government laws Use of pollution control equipments

Proper maintenance of machineries and equipments Introduction of environmental audit Tree plantation

Government policies on environment protection and ecology balance

Environment protection Act 1986
Introduction of environmental audit

Introduction of eco mark labels

Pollution control board

Case Study
Industrial development achieved high growth all over the world. In India it flourished after independence.

It gives rise to:

Growth & development of overall economy Generation of employment opportunities Eradication of poverty

But on the other hand it is the main cause of pollution viz. Air pollution- by consuming oil in production activities which release harmful gases. Water pollution- leads to shortage of pure water Noise pollution- production activities exceeds sound limits Is there any solution we can have to maintain ecological balance?

Suggestions for ecology consciousness

Measures for effective pollution control Use of green technology Respect legal provisions Protect natural resources New energy sources Use of eco friendly products Awareness among businessmen Use of pollution control system

Conclusion
Ecology and business growth are closely related concepts It is necessary to have rapid industrial growth in India but without disturbing ecological balance Protection of environment is one major area of social responsibility of business and business cannot shirk this responsibility on any ground
