What happened

Industrial activities such as textile manufacturing, paper production, leather processing and food processing can generate wastewater containing synthetic dyes. Because many synthetic dyes are chemically stable, difficult to biodegrade and environmentally persistent, their release into waterways can pose risks to aquatic ecosystems and human health.
