This new CPCB document presents a review of the vehicular emission problems in Indian cities, the status of vehicular pollution control programmes and their impact on the urban air quality. <br>
Effluent Conveyance System called as Effluent Channel Project (ECP) is provided to carry treated effluent from industries (mostly chemical) located near Vadodara to the Gulf of Cambey, Arabian Sea. The industries along the stretch in the area from Padra Taluka (Vadodara District) and Jambusar Taluka (Bharuch District) also join the ECP for effluent discharge.
The disposal of hazardous wastes in common and captive incinerators leads to the loss of vital resource besides having potential to cause severe environmental risks if not operated in an environmentally sound manner. Hence, CPCB has published these guidelines to streamline the procedure of co-processing in cement, power and steel industry.
<p>Comprehensive Environmental Pollution Index (CEPI) is a rational number to characterize the environmental quality at a given location following the algorithm of source, pathway and receptor. Increasing value of CEPI indicates severe adverse effects on environment and also is an indication of large percentage of population experiencing health hazards.
In this recent publication CPCB presents water quality of the Ganga for a decade spanning between 1999-2008. This will be useful for the agencies responsible for restoring and preserving water quality of Ganga and would serve as a model for conducting similar studies in other major rivers in India. <br>
Disposal of plastics waste has drawn attention of environmentalist due to their nonbiodegradability and unaesthetic views since these are not disposed scientifically and
This first-of-its-kind environmental assessment report by CPCB has identified 88 pollution hotspots in India. Of this, 10 have been rated as 'alarmingly' polluted and 33 clusters as critically polluted. 32 others are seriously polluted & remaining are in the warning zone.
This new CPCB study on water consumption and sewage disposal patterns finds that 70% of the total municipal sewage and effluent from over 900 cities and towns are being discharged untreated into rivers, which are a major source of drinking water.
The biodegradable polymers could be an alternative to the conventional plastic materials. These polymers being biodegradable can be disposed in safe and ecologically sound manner, through disposal processes (waste management) like
