Pollution from textile industry is huge because the pollutants are chemical that are dangerous both in liquid and gaseous form. The dispersion of the pollutants was evaluated using mathematical models. It was observed that the dispersion modes of pollutants are both stable and turbulent. Hence, when textile pollution is not controlled, it has huge potential to claim life forms. It is recommended that the dumping and improper disposal of textile waste should be avoided. Also, there is an option of recycled or made from recyclable and biodegradable products.
