Explanation using Example
An example of the application of Section 3 of The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 could be when a factory in an industrial area is found to be emitting pollutants beyond the permissible limits into the atmosphere. The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), already established under the Water Act of 1974, would step in to address this issue. The CPCB would use its powers to inspect the factory, assess the level of pollutants being released, and may require the factory to implement air pollution control measures to comply with the standards set under the Air Act. The CPCB functions to ensure that the air quality is not compromised and takes necessary actions to prevent and control air pollution arising from such industrial activities.
