Pollution Control Board (India)

The Pollution Control Board (PCB) in India is a government body responsible for monitoring and controlling pollution in the environment. It works at both the central and state levels to establish standards for air, water, and soil quality, ensuring they remain safe for public health and ecosystems. The PCB conducts inspections, issues permits for industrial emissions, and enforces environmental laws. It also plays a role in promoting awareness about pollution and sustainability. By regulating industries and encouraging compliance, the PCB aims to reduce pollution and protect the environment for future generations.
