• To prevent, control and abate air pollution in the country, the
Government of India enacted Central legislation called the Air
(Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 (referred to as the Air
Act, 1981). Every polluting industry must obtain a consent from the
State Pollution Control Board for the discharge of air pollut­ants in any
form through chimney or otherwise. The State Board may lay down
suitable conditions while giving consent to discharge air pollutants in
the light of emis­sion standards developed by the Central Board,
subsequently notified through the rules framed under the
Environment (pro­tection) Act, 1986 Rules.
