The Department of Environmental Sciences through concerned effort during the course of the next three years will develop an affordable and environment friendly wastewater treatment technology harnessing the absorption, adsorption and degradation potential of microbes and plants with appropriate amalgamation of available, but altered physico-chemical technologies.

In addition, the Tirupur environment will be screened for the presence of hazardous chemicals and their by-products, employing risk assessment techniques.

Creation of complete date base on the Tirupur environment was on the anvil and this would help develop a better plan for environment friendly development.
