Added clay results in siltation of lakes and toxic chemicals used to make idols tend to leach out and pose serious problems of water pollution,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>On the adverse impact of such materials on marine and other micro organisms, he said pollution from immersion of such idols also damages the ecosystem, kills fish and other marine life and poses danger to those dependent on water like birds, animals and human beings as it reduces the oxygen level in water.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is not rational, prudent and judicious to pollute an already scarce commodity. This illiterate attitude towards water should be put to an end.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The judge noted that the government had taken strict steps to implement guidelines of the pollution control board regarding immersion of idols in water bodies.<\/p>\n<p>As per guidelines, he said, idols should be made from natural materials as described in the holy scripts. Use of traditional clay for idol making rather than baked clay and plaster of paris, may be encouraged, allowed and promoted.<\/p>\n<p>Pollution control board norms also say painting of idols should be discouraged. &#8220;In case idols are to be painted, water soluble and non-toxic natural dyes should be used. Use of toxic and non-biodegradable chemical dyes for painting idols should be strictly prohibited,&#8221; he pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>Use of thermocol or any non-biodegradable items for decoration and idol making should strictly be avoided as it leads to exothermic self-accelerating decomposition creating environmental pollution, he said quoting the guidelines.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clrbth\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"buytwidget700\" class=\"clearfix\">\u00a0( Source &#8211;
