India, being a rapidly developing economy, is home to multiple industries. Therefore, research is needed to assess the environmental health effects of major industries in India. 828,722 Disability-adjusted Life Years) among the 8.6 million exposed population in the three countries. The authors calculated that exposure to pollutants generated in industrial regions in developing countries like India, Indonesia, and the Philippines pose equal or even greater risk to human health than widespread communicable diseases like malaria and account for almost eight million years of healthy life lost due to disease, disability or premature death (i.e. Chatham-Stephens et al., 2013 using the Toxic Sites Identification Program developed by the Blacksmith Institute and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization identified 221 point-sources of pollution from industrial activities in India that pose risk to public health. Of these studies, few were conducted in India that focussed on the public health and environmental effects of industrial emission. De Sario et al., 2018 in their scoping review identified 762 epidemiological studies which conclude that living in industrial areas is associated with a wide range of diseases ranging from malignancies and respiratory diseases to adverse birth outcomes and even premature mortality. Adverse health effects posed by industrial pollution is well-established. Industrial development has contributed to economic growth but at the same time industrial activities constitute a major source of environmental pollution.
