4. Editor’s Note
o say pollution is everywhere around us will be
Tan understatement. Pollution today is in and
around us, permeating the very structure of life
on earth. From our air to the soil, the food that we eat
to the water we drink, all are polluted to a varying
degree.
The problem of pollution is as ancient as the human
civilization itself and can be first traced back to the
times when man made fire for domestic purposes. The
soot in the pre-historic caves is witness to how man
tamed fire but lacked proper ventilation to keep it from
polluting his immediate environment. The next steps
towards civilization and development, both in terms of
social and economic, started adding more pollution to
the environment. Metal forging, burning of coal and
wood, transportation involving horses and ships and
the growing population steadily began adding to
pollution.
Pollution, as we know it today, is the aftereffect of the
greatest economic development in the history of
mankind, the Industrial Revolution. Setting up huge
industries did fuel economic growth, but took the
environment as it’s collateral damage. Huge
concentration of population near the industries often
saw outbreaks like cholera because of the pollutants
that rendered the air, water and earth unfit for
humankind. That is also when social reformers realized
that pollution needs to be curtailed as soon as possible.
In 1870, Berlin, one among the many cities where
sanitary conditions were the worse, rose to the
occasion and by 1906, it was transformed into the most
modern and organized city of its times. Since then, the
official war between pollution and environmentalists,
backed by their Governments started, and continues
till date.
In 1974, the Indian Government established The Central
Pollution Control Board (CPCB) of India, a statutory
organisation under the Ministry of Environment, Forest
and Climate Change (Mo.E.F.C). Headquartered in
Delhi the Board has seven zonal offices and five
laboratories, and an employee count of around 500
including scientists, engineers and environmental
protection specialists.
However, the problem of pollution isn’t just for the
Government and the activists to fight. It affects one
and all, and needs to be tackled at every level, starting
right from one individual. Right now, the world is
witnessing the effects of pollution causing actions like
never before. The situation is panicky, but panic leads
ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT
AND POLLUTION
5. to no solution. Instead of creating a ruckus and opting
for the blame game, everyone should put their act
together. A single act of mindfulness towards the
environment can make a difference we don’t fathom
during the act.
Also, the actions should start from where the cycle was
set i.e. the Industries. It is agreed that most of the
industries have been following pollution control
methods. But as we can see, that hasn’t been enough.
The industries need to utilize modern, updated and
more scientific solutions to deal with the high-level of
pollution today. Also, the solutions should be
implemented throughout their production or
manufacturing cycle. And to determine their needs
and suggest solutions, they should turn to experts who
have been dealing with the menace at the forefront.
This issue of “The 10 Most Admired Pollution Control
Companies in India” is dedicated to the environmental
heroes who have been fighting pollution at places that
contribute the most. Through dedication, expertise,
scientific know-how and a will to share the
responsibility towards the environment, these
companies have been giving their best in tackling
pollution.

Cover Story
Since it entered India
13 years ago, AAF has
occupied an advantageous
position in the Indian
market and has maintained
a leading position in
the filter industry
“
“
12. hat differentiates ‘Earth’ from the other
Wplanets in the solar system is the presence of
life (at least until we find and contact life on
other planets). Breathable air, as we know, is one of the
fundamental elements that supports life. However, at the
same time as you read this article, pollutants are being
added to the atmosphere by developed, developing and
under-developed nations at an alarming rate.
People and governments are completely aware of the
hazardous effects of pollution on health and the
environment. With incidences of respiratory diseases
rising and ‘Save the planet’ becoming a global slogan, a
lot needs to be done at both individual and societal level.
However, a large portion of the population and industries
in India and some other parts of the world do not
implement the laid down norms either due to ignorance
or lack of finances. The Government and the industries,
both need to work together to bring about greater
awareness about the hazards of poor indoor air quality
and how it can be improved.
Awareness is just one part. We need measurable action
and helping the awakened in translating awareness to
action is American Air Filter (AAF) International, a
99 years old company and the world’s largest
manufacturer of air filtration solutions.
Founded in 1921, AAF is a name recognized globally for
quality, expertise and innovation in Air Filtration. It is
headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, USA with
operations in 23 countries and 6 R&D centres
worldwide. It is a Daikin group company which is a
diversified international manufacturing company and a
global leader in air-conditioning.
The Turning Point
The idea that incepted the journey of AAF commenced
nearly a century ago in the USA. The automobile
industry was facing a major problem in keeping dust
from spoiling the freshly painted cars. Bill Reed, a
skilled engineer and entrepreneur, developed the Reed
Air Filter in 1921 for the automobile industry to keep off
the dust. The concept was so successful that this laid the
foundation for the company which is today a global
leader in air filtration. To grow the business, Reed joined
forces with seven other firms to create American Air
Filter Co. in 1929.
AAF International entered India in 2006 recognising the
fact that clean air is critical in developing countries like
India. The growing number of centrally air-conditioned
buildings allowed the company to invest and set up its
first manufacturing facility in Bengaluru. After three
years of successful operations, AAF started another unit
in Noida. Recently, AAF has opened its regional office in
Electronic City Bengaluru which will also serve as the
centre of excellence of EEMEA, SAARC and CIS
countries.
Solutions that Help you Breathe
AAF is a company with an outstanding industry record.
Superior industry knowledge and an outstanding team of
air filtration professionals mean that the customers
receive top quality products and services at a competitive
price. From inexpensive disposable panel filters to high
efficiency, extended surface filters with antimicrobial
coating, AAF markets the widest range of air filters
available. AAF has developed and introduced most of the
filter designs throughout the industry including the mini-
pleats, extended surface bag filters and Perfect pleat.
AAF-Daikin offers comprehensive, innovative air
filtration solutions designed to remove and control
airborne particulates and gaseous contaminants in
residential, commercial, industrial, cleanroom,
automotive, railways, power generation and nuclear
power applications.
AAF has a Clean Air Innovation & Research Centre
(Clean AIR Center) in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The $5.4
million Clean Air Centre represents a significant
advancement in research and development efforts for
both AAF and the global air filtration industry. A new
centre of excellence for EEMEA, SAARC and CIS
countries has also been established at Bengaluru.
Some major achievements of AAF include installation of
India’s First Auto Scan test facility for HEPA and ULPA
filters. AAF has also introduced BIBO (Bag In Bag Out)
filters which have significantly improved the air quality
in hospitals. By 2014, AAF International became the
preferred partner for the pharmaceuticals and healthcare
industry and other industries where clean air is crucial

A Dedicated Leader
Rahul Uppal is the Chief Operating Officer of
American Air Filter, a member of Daikin group, for
EEMEA (Eastern Europe, Middle East, and Africa), CIS
and SAARC countries; a total of 90 countries. A
mechanical engineer by qualification, Rahul has attended
many specialization and management programs in
various parts of the world. He has held numerous
leadership positions including Managing Director of a
Swedish company also dealing in filtration.
Rahul’s in-depth knowledge about the industry, flair for
people management and passion for environmental
protection led to his meteoric rise by becoming the
youngest COO of AAF-Daikin. He has contributed
significantly to improving the quality of life of the
people by providing the next generation of high-
performance air filtration products and equipment to the
market for all applications. Dedicated people like him
make a difference to the world environment and the
health of the people in general.
Combating Pollution
It can now be established that AAF is potentially the
world leader in clean air solutions and always ahead of
the competition courtesy its professional team with some
of the best talent available in the world.
Indian cities dominate the ‘world’s most polluted’ charts.
People and governments are increasingly becoming
aware of the hazardous effects of pollution on health and
the environment.
AAF understands the vital importance of clean air. AAF
has been helping people across the globe by providing
safe indoor air solutions. Its latest invention, Sensor360
measures both indoor and outdoor particulate
concentration (PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 levels). This
eliminates the need to manually audit and collect filter
data from the facility’s air handling systems, giving the
user the ability to resolve potential IAQ issues before
they negatively affect building occupants by receiving an
alert from the Sensor360 app that particulate levels are at
an unacceptable concentration. It is the first IoT (Internet
of Things) patented technology platform that
15. demonstrates the effectiveness of a building’s filtration
system by monitoring particulate levels.
AAF also organizes seminars in various
countries/regions where it invites leaders from industry
and government to bring about greater awareness on the
hazards of poor indoor air quality and the latest
innovations available to mitigate these hazards. It also
supports various universities so that this subject gets the
importance it deserves. AAF is not just a filter
manufacturing company but provides complete cost-
effective end-to-end solutions to ensure high quality
IAQ.
The Future looks Clean
As mentioned earlier, American Air Filter has been a
pioneer in clean air innovation for nearly 100 years now.
It is committed to improve quality of life, increase
productivity, protect critical processes and equipment
and create products that advance the human condition.
The coming years will see AAF develop solutions that
are the need of the hour while always adhering to the
following points:
• Sustainability is always a top priority in its R&D
efforts.
• Provide sustainable and ‘green thinking’ solutions.
• Reduce energy consumption and the carbon footprint
for itself, and it’s customers alike.
• Improvements in environmental management system.
With its evident expertise, the company will continue to
lead global initiatives that increase productivity, improve
processes and protect public health for the next 100
years.
We are the only filtration company which is
compliant with the EN 1822 international standards

vegetable peel, bottles, and paper cups. It is then our
responsibility towards ourselves, our neighborood, society,
country and mother nature to treat this waste in rightful
manner. Evergreen RecycleKaro India Pvt Ltd (ERPL)
lets people do that in an efficient and hassle-free manner.

24. Industrial Revolution is said to be a
milestone in human development. It
brought with it technology, new
methods of manufacturing, amazing
machines and more. However, it also
brought along with it a menace,
Industrial Pollution. On one hand, it
made our life easier, however, at the
same time, it made life difficult due to
pollution. Initially, these industries,
albeit factories were small and far-off
which did not make much difference.
But as the factories turned into giant
units, the level of pollution they
generated became a cause of worry.
Today, the air we breathe is basically
unbreathable. The persistent smog in
Delhi NCR region is just a glimpse of
what lies ahead if we don’t take action
now.
Controlling industrial air pollution is
crucial today. Going by the proverb,
“Necessity is the mother of invention”,
the need or problem encourages creative
efforts to meet the need or solve the
problem. Perhaps this philosophy is
what inspired Mr VK Arora, as he
realised early in his career that Industrial
Air Pollution control is pervasive across
Cost-effective and Sustainable Industrial Air Handling Solutions
all industries which prompted him to
venture into the business and gradually
penetrate the market. His realization
resulted into action as he established

32. As technology will continue to evolve, businesses
will continue to incorporate the newest
equipment to provide a competitive edge.
Simultaneously, this will also increase the emission of e-
waste. E-waste is one of the fastest-growing waste
streams in the world. Though it contains valuable
materials such as copper, palladium, aluminium, gold,
and silver, it also contains harmful substances like
mercury, cadmium, and lead. It goes unsaid that disposal
of such harmful e-waste will result in toxic emissions
into natural resources and also cause serious
environmental and health hazards.
Holding on to the aforesaid thought, a group of engineers
at Exigo Recycling have conceptualized strategies that
helps in seamlessly managing electronic assets and its
recycling. It provides a simple, straightforward,
transparent and sustainable way to recycle and manage
all E-waste and Electronic assets. To further know about
its products, services, we had a word with
Mr. A.L.N.Rao, the CEO of Exigo Recycling. Let us

metal recovery and much more. This bouquet of services
is a part of our endeavor to provide end-to-end recycling
solutions. Our visionary approach has proved fruitful in
expanding our base beyond national boundaries with
dismantling operations in South Africa.
IS Team: What is the story behind the founding of the
organization?
Mr. Rao: Mr.Raman Sharma was to join his family
business, a large 100% export house of customized
carpets and handlooms, well established for +40 years,
but the E-waste idea was lit during his studies in the
United Kingdom.
Coming back to India to start afresh from scratch was a
huge challenge.24-36 months on the job training as an
apprentice in the Informal sector made him aware of the
ground-level realities and the way e-waste business is
done in the informal sector.
Thus acquiring key knowledge skills technical and non-
technical about the industry, the first plant in 50k sq.ft in
Haryana was set up. Subsequently, two more states of the
art plants have been added and the addition of the 4th
plant is on.
IS Team: State the challenges faced by the founder of
the company as a whole while formation..
Mr. Rao: There is no easy road to success and we didn't
have one too. The initial challenges that we faced
included:

A Menace for India
Both humans and animals face sleep related issues due to noise
pollution. When the human body is exposed to prolonged sound, it gets
stressed. Noisepollutionisaproblemthatmakespeopleandanimalsget
restless in different ways. Being in a noisy place, it is difficult for humans
to get complete and proper sleep. Inadequate sleep in return causes
issues like tiredness, fatigue, discomfort, etc. It is the same with animals,
theytooneedpropersleeptostayhealthy.
Highlevelsofnoise,disturbstheheart.Itstartsbeatingfasterwhichleads
to increased pumping of blood. This also leads to rise in blood pressure
and release of adrenaline. Regular exposure to loud noise will keep the
body getting higher impulses. If blood pressure keeps rising, it may lead
toheartrelateddiseasessuchasstroke,highbloodpressure,etc.
In case of sea animals, the bigger ones survive the loud sounds but not
the smaller ones. The smaller ones face heart issues due to the noise
caused by ships, submarines, underwater turbines, etc. Many also die of
heartattacksandstrokes.
SLEEPING DISORDERS
CARDIOVASCULAR ISSUES
P
ollution has always been an area of concern for India. For a country like ours, you can imagine the amount
of pollution occurring each day due to the large population. Water pollution, air pollution, noise pollution,
etc. have negative/adverse effects on the environment and the living beings. As we all know, too much
of anything is hazardous, and same goes in the case of pollution.
Today, noise pollution or sound pollution is one of the major matter of concern in India. Sadly, many are unaware
of the hazardous effects of noise pollution. It is a daily dilemma to bear with the unnecessary havoc created on
the streets, the blasting loudspeakers during festive times, the bursting crackers, etc. Significant number of
health threats are caused to humans and animals due to exposure to loud noise. Some of the threats to health
are explained below:
www.insightssuccess.in32| February 2020
35. One of the five senses human beings have is hearing. It is an essential
part of a person. However, as important as hearing is, it does have a
certain limit of receiving sound waves. When it gets higher than 85
decibels, it is termed as noise. Hearing disorders are one of the
common ill-effects of noise pollution. It can cause hearing
impairmentorcompletehearinglossinsomecases.
The noise pollution is also an issue in the oceans. It is created due to
the drilling machines, ships and other responsible factors.
Underwatercreatureslikewhalesanddolphinsareimpactedbythis.
HEARING PROBLEMS
Noise pollution not only affects the heart and the body but also
affectstheresponsesofthebrain.Itisknownthatthebraincontrolsall
the organs. The ear too is affected by the sound waves that hit it, and
then they are sent to the brain for interpretation. Reports suggest
that, such kinds of noise dulls the brain lowering its response rate. Due
to this the cognitive functioning reduces and behavioural changes
canbewitnessedinbothhumansandanimals.Itaffectsthemoodofa
personoranimalmakingthembehaveirrationally.
Noise pollution is a concern in India which needs to be solved. Now
that we know the adverse effects of it, we should be preventing it
from affecting humans and animals. The sooner we control the noise,
the more safe we are from the hazards it causes. As it is said, ‘Charity
Begins at Home’. If each one of us practices simple measures on a
personallevel,thenwecanreducethenoisewemake.
COGNITIVE ISSUES AND BEHAVIOURAL CHANGE
A workplace consists of numerous people and the amount of noise
caused could be high. This noise can affect the productivity of the
employees. This sound must be reduced by taking the necessary
steps. Simple steps like adding carpets, curtains, cushions, etc. or any
soundabsorbingmaterialcouldhelpdecreasethenoise.

Noisy machines like air conditioning units, furnaces, etc. should be
kept away from people or animals as much as possible. At home,
these machines could be kept away from the bedroom as they
may hamper the sleep. In offices or industries a separate room
could be made for just these types of noisy machines and the
room could be made sound proof. This way the noise will not leave
theroom.
Communities with many trees are quieter compared to others.
Getting together with the community members and planting more
trees could help reduce the pollution caused by loud sounds. Big
dense trees along the sides of the roads also create better
environment for you and the animals. In addition, trees and plants
also have various other aesthetic advantages and improve the air
qualitytoo.
The more we take care of our community by finding ways to reduce
noise pollution, the better is our life. Pollution is created by us and it

38. While the world is thankful to Industrial
Revolution and the industries for manufacturing
products that make our life easy, it is also

40. The world, as we see it today, is the result of the
industrial revolution that began in the 19th century.
Technologies developed rapidly, with humans and
machines contributing equally to economic growth.
Gradually, science has become more advanced and the age
of manufacturing is now more agile and effective.
However, with all these advancements also came industrial
pollution. Industries in the early years were small and
produced minimal waste. But, gradually when factories
became full-scale industries and manufacturing units, the
issue of industrial pollution started to become crucial. This
goes unsaid that the need to protect our natural resources is
now higher than ever.
American author, Marianne Williamson quotes, “This entire
planet is our home. We are the only species that
systematically destroy our habitat.” Hence, the duty of
saving our planet from extinction is also our responsibility.
Holding on to this thought, a group of engineers at
Pollucare Engineers India Private Limited have taken it
as their responsibility to reduce and control the pollution of
air, water, and soil.
Engineering Waste- Management Strategies
Pollucare deals with water pollution, air pollution, and solid
waste management. It provides solutions that significantly
reduce the costs associated with Waste management by
Improving the performance of Pollution Control Equipment
& systems with the use of advanced Technology and
Innovative solutions.
This company acts as an Environmental Partner for various
organizations from Conceptualization to Commissioning of
the Project by undertaking the QCDR Approach. The
QCDR Approach(Quality, Cost, Delivery and Response)
ensures optimum design without compromising on quality,
the optimum cost for design, on-time delivery and quick
response in a responsible manner for successful completion
of the project and continue to service them for the full life
cycle of the project.
The engineers of Pollucare offer solutions that significantly
reduce the costs associated with waste management by
Improving the performance of Pollution Control Equipment
& systems with the use of advanced Technology and
Innovative solutions.
“Reduce-Reuse-Recycle- Recover is our approach towards
Solution which is in line with the waste hierarchy,”
comments Dr. S. Saibabu, the Managing Director of
Pollucare Engineers India Private Limited.
Towards Cost-Effective Treatment
Now, that the particulars of Pollucare have been
established, let us look into the 'why' factor. Why Pollucare
Engineers? Environmental legislation has become
increasingly more stringent over the years, and this has
created the need for improved pollution control systems.
To encourage large industrial emitters to embrace
innovations, the government has introduced the concept of
best available technology not entailing an excessive cost.
Yet, government schemes for reducing pollution are not
always well received by the industry, mainly because the
additional investment is often required to comply with new
regulations.
However, Pollucare develops solutions that reduce the costs
associated with waste management. Alongside this, it
improves the performance of pollution control equipment
and systems utilizing advanced technology and innovative
solutions. It is today a 'One Stop Solution' for all
Environmental and Pollution Control requirements of
Industries and large corporate.
The Environmentalist Himself
Here, comes the need to talk about the person to whom the
company attributes its success . They are the ones with
foresight and adaptability, who drive the company to the
zeniths of success. Here, that person is Dr. S. Saibabu. He
is both an Entrepreneur and Environmentalist, responsible
for the overall working of the company and is instrumental
in making strategic decisions for it. He brings with him vast
experience in the field of Environmental Engineering and
international exposure in Project Management.
Dr. Saibabu has established this company with a
resourceful team of skilled personnel with hands-on
international exposure. He and his team of engineers have
established a state of the art NABL (Department of Science
& Technology, Government of India) Accredited
Environmental Laboratory. Under his leadership, the
company has successfully built an extensive client base and
has been playing an evident role in the field of
Environment, Sustainable and Social development.

just helping in controlling the environment but, also in
building a resourceful nation. "We are involved in
Nation Building activities through Recycling & Reuse of
Wastewater," shares Dr. Saibabu.
Its passion for quality and technology and wide
networking in government has helped it in providing
services like consulting, liaison and solutions, cost-
effectively. Having extensive exposure in international
project management, the company has successfully taken
up infrastructure development projects with various
Industrial Clients on EPC Contract basis. It has
successfully designed, installed and commissioned
several treatment plants (STP, ETP, WTP, Desalination,
RO, Evaporate system & Complete ZLD Systems), all of
which are aimed towards controlling pollution.
History in Making
Seldom does an act of such social importance goes
unnoticed by the world. The same is the case with
Pollucare Engineers. Its unique, technology-driven and
cost-effective solutions have attributed to the company's
success in such a way that it is today a recipient of many
