The - gland industrial developments, the ort expansion, the rapid and accidental transp management of natural resources have badly affected environmental growth of cities balance. The pollution of air and water will soon reach a point when no place on the earth will remain safe. Due to large scale industrial and human settlement many rivers have become gloomy and dark. The large scale industrial wastes and oil poured in the sea have started killing marine life. Human is also affected physically by this environmental imbalance. Evidence that many people find industrial activity to be noxious and personally threatening come from two sources, environmental justice movement activism and social science survey data. For example- Davis, Smith, and Massden (1999) asked a sub sample of respondents a battery of questions about the environment and environmental pollution, fifty-one percent of these respondents stated that industrial air pollution is `very to extremely' dangerous to their families and ninety percent believed that thegoverment should regulate industry in order to protect the environment. In the 1950s a plastics factory in Japan was blamed for a large number of deaths, disabilities, and birth deformities among inhabitants of the Minamata bay area. It was discovered that mercury released by the factory into the bay had been taken up by fish and eventually reached the fish from the bay were their main source of food. As a local people, since n the site of • chemical dump and although no deaths were directly ,ed to it, the incidence of miscarriage, blood, and liver 311fibw alities and birth defects were noticeable greater in the area onorin cveitch and Arkkelin, 1995). in facts the psychological consequence of chemical pollution may occur even if the chemical involved has no effect on health. David and reported on the aftermath of an accidental dumping of wesselY (1995) Vtons of aluminum sulphate into a water supply in 1988. Despite the fact that no evidence exists of any long-term health effect, many people reported somatic symptoms and increased levels of anxiety. While the developing child is likely to be more vulnerable to chemical invasion, adults are also affected. Chattopadhyaym, Som, and Biswas (1993) found evidence of both psychological and physical distress as a consequence of exposure to air pollution in an industrialized area of Calcutta, and Bullinger (1989) found evidence pollution induced impairment in reaction time and concentration in otherwise healthy adults. Industrial and non-industrial environment is taken as the study area in the present study. Here the to industrial environment refers to the residential area nearby the industries. The environment is polluted due to industrial waste. It causes air, as well as noise pollution. Here we , water study the adolescents residing in these industrial areas.
