摘要

Rapid industrialization has significantly increased industrial waste generation, posing serious environmental and regulatory challenges. Cities along the Ganga Basin, including Kanpur, Varanasi, Prayagraj, and Bhadohi, are major industrial hubs where ineffective waste management contributes to air, water, and soil pollution. This research examines trends in hazardous waste generation and management based on Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data from 2017–18 to 2021–22, focusing on disposal trends and regulatory compliance. Results indicate inefficiencies in treatment facilities and enforcement mechanisms. In addition, a structured scale for assessing Solid Waste Management (SWM) practices was developed, incorporating five key dimensions: Waste Classification and Source-Level Separation, waste collection and transportation, waste treatment and disposal, recycling and reuse, and awareness and training. A Likert-scale questionnaire was designed, and reliability and validity were tested through Cronbach’s alpha, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis using SPSS and AMOS. The findings indicate persistent regulatory gaps, inadequate waste treatment facilities, and high landfill dependency. The research highlights requirements for more effective enforcement, better compliance, and improved infrastructure to counteract environmental hazards from industrial waste mismanagement.
