In this study the effects of Indian textile industry on environment and human health are reviewed and concluded that textile mechanical process mainly affects the environment of the workplace by the way of producing heavy noise and cotton dust. While fiber formation and chemical processing has vast negative impact on outside world that pollutes land, water, air and emits hazardous byproduct which indirectly promotes acid rain and global warming.
