Emission Quality Requirements: Air quality and emission standards 

Air quality and emission standards in India are set by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and are enforced by the state pollution control boards. The CPCB has established National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for various pollutants, including sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and lead. The CPCB also sets standards for industrial emissions and effluent discharge. These standards are based on international guidelines and are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect the latest scientific research and technological developments.

These standards are based on international guidelines and are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect the latest scientific research and technological developments. Compliance with these standards is mandatory for all industries and any violations can result in penalties and legal action.
