Purpose: To aim of the study was to analyze effect of influence of industrial emissions on air quality in manufacturing zones in United Kingdom.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Speech recognition–based pronunciation instruction significantly improves English speaking fluency among university students in Japan by increasing speech rate, reducing pauses, and enhancing pronunciation accuracy. The immediate automated feedback encourages frequent practice and boosts learners’ confidence to speak more spontaneously. However, while fluency improves noticeably, gains in grammatical accuracy remain limited, indicating the need to combine the technology with communicative language teaching activities.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Ecological modernization theory, pollution haven theory & environmental Kuznets curve theory may be used to anchor future studies on the influence of industrial emissions on air quality in manufacturing zones in United Kingdom. This study contributes to practice by giving manufacturers, factory managers, environmental officers, and industrial zone managers practical guidance on how to reduce air pollution. This study contributes to policy by providing evidence that industrial emissions should be managed through strict, measurable, and enforceable air quality regulations.
