Abstract Pollution continues to be a major global concern and the need for a clean environment has become more pressing than ever. While economic growth and industrialization have brought prosperity, they have also transformed clean air, water, and land from free resources into scarce commodities. The basic need for a human life is water that had been polluting because of industrialisation especially dying industries as a result it had consequences for human health. Thus, the study examines the socio-economic conditions and health impacts of industrial pollution caused by textile dyeing and bleaching industries in Erode district of Tamil Nadu. Primary data were collected from 100 households through well-structured interview schedule using random sampling method. The study found that contaminated water sources have led to skin diseases, respiratory problems, and gastrointestinal disorders. The result shows that the respondents suffer from higher financial burden due to increased healthcare costs and income loss due to sickness. There is common effluent treatment plants have been established, but, inefficiencies and poor maintenance lessen the effectiveness of the plants. The study suggests that the government could make some strict pollution regulation, and the industries should monitor Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs) to safeguard livelihoods and ensure environmental sustainability in the region.
