Faunal density and distribution in a nearshore environment at Trivandrum, Kerala, India, into which effluent from a titanium dioxide factory is discharged has been studied. The effluent chiefly contains sulphuric acid, ferrous salts and titanium dioxide. Analysis of samples from the affected and unaffected areas shows a decrease of intertidal and benthic fauna in the polluted areas. Gross ecological variatons appear to have not taken place and the marginal changes that occur in the environment can be considerably reduced by controlling the pollution. |
