1. CENTRAL POLLUTION
CONTROL BOARD (CPCB)

2. INTRODUCTION
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) of India is a
statutory organisation under the Ministry of
Environment, Forest and Climate Change (Mo.E.F.C.C.).
It was established in 1974 under the Water (Prevention
and Control of pollution) Act, 1974. The CPCB is also
entrusted with the powers and functions under the Air
(Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981. It serves
as a field formation and also provides technical services
to the Ministry of Environment and Forests under the
provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. It
Co-ordinates the activities of the State Pollution Control
Boards by providing technical assistance and guidance
and also resolves disputes among them. It is the apex
organisation in country in the field of pollution control,
as a technical wing of Mo.E.F.C.C ..

3. What do you mean by Environmental
Pollutant and pollution?
Sec. 2 (b): “environmental pollutant" means
any solid, liquid or gaseous substance’s
presence in such concentration as may be, or
tend to be, injurious to environment.
Sec. 2 (c) : "environmental pollution" means
the presence (in the environment of any) of
environmental pollutant

4. TYPE OF POLLUTION
POLLUTION
Water Pollution
Water pollution can be
defined as the
contamination of water
bodies. Water pollution is
caused when water
bodies such as rivers,
lakes, oceans,
groundwater, and
aquifers get contaminated
with industrial and
agricultural effluents.
Air Pollution
Air pollution refers to
any physical, chemical
or biological change in
the air. It is the
contamination of air
by harmful gases, dust
and smoke which
affects plants, animals,
and humans
drastically.
Noise Pollution
Noise pollution is excessive
noise that may disrupt the
activity or balance of human
life and noise or pollutant
sound has a value of
80db(decibel) & above.
Transport Noise
Neighbourhood Noise
Industrial Noise

5. MISSION
To promote
cleanliness of
streams and wells in
different areas of
the states by
prevention, control,
and abatement of
water pollution.
To improve
the quality
of air thus
preventing
air pollution.
To take
measures to
prevent the
noise
pollution.

6. - A vision statement is a clear and compelling picture of the CPCB preferred
future.
- It provides a description of the ideal future state made concrete.
- It is where the CPCB is going and where it want to be. Yet at the same
time. The vision of the CPCB future must be realistic and credible.
- When integrated with the CPCB mission statement and principles, the
vision statement serves as the framework for the CPCBs planning process.
VISION
