Describe the sources of pollutants from the textile industry and their impacts on the environment and human health. 

The textile industry uses millions of gallons of water everyday. That's because to produce 1 kg of fabric, typically, 200 litres of water are consumed: washing the fiber, bleaching, dyeing and then cleaning the finished product.

The problem does not rest in the high usage, though, but in the fact that often waste waters are not treated to remove pollutants before they are disposed in the environment.

As a consequence, according to some studies 20 percent of all fresh water pollution is made by textile treatment and dyeing. 

The high volumes of water and discarded in the textile producing process are responsible for aquatic life toxicity.

Substances such as formaldehyde, chlorine and heavy metals are disposed into water bodies and they are consumed in daily activities by a large number of people.

According to some studies, the apparel industry accounts for 10% of global carbon emissions and is the second largest industrial polluter.

Specifically, air pollutants produced by the textile industry include:

nitrous oxides and sulphur dioxide produced in the energy production stages;

volatile organic components (VOCs) produced in coating, curing, _________ _________ ________ ______ __________ ___ ______ _______ ______ _____.
