Application of Pollution Prevention Programme in Bangladesh—Case Study on Cement Industry
In this paper, pollution prevention programme have been proposed for industries as a cost effective measure for minimizing waste problem. The steps and advantages of the programme have been discussed briefly in order to get idea about the pollution prevention programme. In this paper, case study on cement industry has been presented to illustrate the benefit of pollution prevention programme for industries of developing countries. Treatment cost and material cost has been reduced for heavy metal industries and health risk has been reduced for pesticide formulation industries. The associated risk from present condition has been discussed.
