All Industries to abide by the standards of emissions and discharges as Prescribed
Central Pollution or state Pollution Board can only make more stringent rules
Any newly introduced standard/rule /direction are to be compiled within a year of their introduction into rules, unless specifically stated otherwise.
12.Any industry who qualifies to have consent under the Air, Water act or authorization under hazardous wastes rules is required to submit Annual Environmental statement before 30th September each year.

17.Put emphasis on clean Technologies
Effort to remove color & odor from waste
Effluents to contain Biodegradable materials
Discharge to have BOD & COD limits

18.OD- It is the Oxygen demand by the Organic
matter present in the water & is
discharged in the form of CO2 , CH4
BOD – It is concerned with nor mal industry, where
the organic species can live & biodegradation
takes place
COD- It is concerned to chemical Industry , where discharge cannot be mixed with normal water. If it exceeds the limit tertiary treatment should be involved to remove these chemicals
19.Important Notifications
Ban on use of Benzidine based dyes and Chemicals
Declaration of Coastal Regulation Zone
Environment Impact Assessment
Environment Clearance of Projects
