The operation flow has to follow the preparatory → tanning → crusting → surface coating sub-process order without deviation, but some of the sub-processes can be omitted to make certain leathers.In addition to the other environmental impacts of leather, the production processes have a high environmental impact, most notably due to: the heavy use of polluting chemicals in the tanning process and air pollution due to the transformation process. This paper deals with respondents' realization on pollution of drinking water in Vellore region consequent upon leather industry and tannery activities. It outlines the respondents' observation of causes and reasons behind pollution drinking water. This paper concludes with some interesting findings based on field survey. | | Keywords : | | |
