FOREWORD
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has developed National Standards
for Effluents and Emission under the statutory powers of the Water (Prevention and
Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act,
1981. These standards have been approved and notified by the Government of India,
Ministry of Environment & Forests, under Section 25 of the Environmental (Protection)
Act, 1986. Till now, Effluent standards for 37 categories of industries and Emission
Standards for 31 categories of industries have been evolved and notified besides
standards for ambient air quality, ambient noise, automobile and fuels quality
specifications for petrol and diesel. Guidelines have also been developed separately for
hospital waste management.
Dr. B. Sengupta, Member Secretary and Dr. S.K. Paliwal, Scientist 'B' have put
in a lot of efforts in preparing this document. This document is intended to facilitate a
ready reference to all standards notified so far. I hope, it would be useful to the industry,
regulatory agencies, consultants & others interested in pollution control.

uniform interval.
24 hourly/8 hourly values should be met 98% of the time in a year. However, 2% of the time, it
mayexceed but not on two consecutive days.
NOTE:
1. National Ambient Air Quality Standard: The levels of air quality with an adequate margin of safety, to
protect the public health,, vegetation and property.
2. Whenever and wherever two consecutive values exceeds the limit specified above for the respective
category, it would be considered adequate reason to institute regular/continuous monitoring and
further investigations.
