Water bodies are essential for supporting life and ecosystems, yet they face an increasing threat of chemical contamination resulting from various human activities, with industrial processes being a significant contributor. In this comprehensive review, we delve into the complex issue of chemical contamination in aquatic environments, with a specific focus on the far-reaching impacts of industrial activities. The primary aim of this review is to provide a thorough comprehension of how industries contribute to chemical pollution in aquatic settings. We explore the origins, varieties, and pathways of chemical pollutants released into water bodies, as well as their consequences for both the environment and human health. Utilizing an extensive body of scientific literature, this paper categorizes industrial contributions by sectors, including manufacturing, agriculture, mining, and energy production. It also delves into the mechanisms behind contamination, encompassing point source and non-point source pollution, accidental spills, and inadequate waste management practices. Furthermore, we assess the regulatory frameworks and environmental policies designed to mitigate industrial impacts on water quality. We also offer insights into potential strategies for enhancing the protection of our water resources. By synthesizing current knowledge and pinpointing research gaps, this review seeks to inform policymakers, industry stakeholders, and environmental advocates about the pressing need for sustainable industrial practices and effective regulatory measures. Ultimately, it underscores the importance of taking a holistic approach to address chemical contamination, highlighting the pivotal role of industries in safeguarding the health and well-being of our aquatic ecosystems and communities.
