The city of Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh, India is facing severe
problems with pollution associated with processing leather in tanneries.
Currently there are 175 tanneries in Kanpur, all of which are using the same
dangerous chemicals to clean and preserve animal skins for primarily foreign exchange.. The water has concentration of toxins 1-2 thousand higher than exceptable limits and poses a dangerous threat, especially if it was deposed of irresponsibly. It is important for scientists to find a solution t The video shows the copious amounts of contaminated water used that produces 8
million liters of waste every day! It is energetically very expensive consuming
360 watts of electricity for the treatment planto making the process of leather environment friendly or abolishing the practice
for human safety. The Ganges River is already confronting problems with
pollution that can be a hazardous to people in the area. Workers in the tanneries
are often uneducated making them unaware of the dangers that the chemicals can
potential cause and the risks in the tanneries that are extremely harmful.
