White ware <strong>Cluster</strong> Khurza √It is seen in Table 2.14 that there are 12 sampled clusters which generate environmentalconcerns. Among these, there are 4 clusters which belong to the PGBC group and asmany as 8 clusters from the SGBC group. It is also reported that the remaining 10sampled clusters do not generate environmental concerns though there are doubtsregarding this issue especially in the case <strong>of</strong> the plywood cluster in Perimbavoor, the RiceFlakes cluster in Ahmedabad and the Rice Milling cluster in Karnal. If one takes this intoconsideration then the number <strong>of</strong> polluting clusters increases to 15 out <strong>of</strong> the 22 sampledclusters. With strict environmental regulation these clusters are likely to face problemsin their day to day functioning, some <strong>of</strong> them are already facing problems with theconcerned authorities who even go to the extent <strong>of</strong> closing down units which are not in aposition to address pollution issues.There are three major types <strong>of</strong> pollution that clusters generate these are air pollution,water pollution, and pollution caused by non-degradable toxic solid wastes. There maybe other forms <strong>of</strong> pollution also such as noise pollution, which affects not only theworkers but also neighbouring habitations.As seen in Table 2.15 air pollution seems to be the most widespread among our sampledclusters with as many as 12 clusters in our sample causing air pollution. There are 5sampled clusters that are reported to be causing water pollution and is drawing theincreasing attention <strong>of</strong> regulators. Moreover there are 2 clusters that generate pollutionthrough non-degradable toxic solid wastes.51
