The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) is India's statutory organization that was established in 1974 under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act. It serves as the key technical arm of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change in areas related to pollution control and environmental quality monitoring. The CPCB coordinates with state pollution control boards, provides them guidance and technical assistance, and resolves disputes among them. It also establishes environmental standards and guidelines and develops programs for pollution prevention, control, and abatement across India.

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
