BACKGROUND In 1991, textile researchers at Universities in Eastern Europe introduced a change in the traditional manufacture of ring-spun yarn. Condensation of the roving web prior to entering the spinning triangle produced a less hairy and more compact yarn structure. Surface fibers from the condensed roving provided reduced protruding surface hair and a smaller diameter

Among many pollution-creating industries, textile has a larger share in terms of its impact with regard to noise, air, and effluent. It is, therefore, felt worthwhile to study the environmental hazards associated with various operations of textiles. In this paper, pollution arising out of noise and air is discussed. Areas of concern and their appropriate rectifying procedures are also taken into account.

Ecological degradation happens in natural fiber right from cultivation to finishing of the ultimate product. Prominent parameters and the possible package of corrective measures are highlighted. Synthetic fiber industry is not an exception to environmental pollution and therefore various pollution-creating activities are pointed out. Management of various textile wastes is also mentioned in this paper.
