Abstract
The textile industries in Bangladesh are establishing remarkable opportunities for the financial growth of Bangladesh but the rapid and unplanned expansion of small-scale textile industries in residential areas has resulted in alarming environmental concerns. To examine the current pollution scenario in Dhaka City, Bangladesh generated from small-scale textile industries in residential areas, a study was conducted in Dhaka North City Corporation, particularly in Mirpur Sect.7 and the Mirpur Shialbari area. Wastewater samples were collected from eight textile wet processing industries to assess the physio-chemical parameters of the samples. The investigation discovered that just two companies' wastewater samples (Industry 1 and 3) met the national standard set by the Department of Environment (DoE), Bangladesh as only these two sectors have Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs) while the wastewater quality in the other industries (Industry 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8) was unsatisfactory, indicating serious violations of the law. The results of the study will aid government policymakers in developing serious implementation strategies to prevent the discharge of untreated wastewater from small-scale companies in residential areas.
