Section 7 of EPA : Section 7: Persons Carrying On Industry, Operations, Etc, Not To Allow Emission Or Discharge Of Environmental Pollutants In Excess Of The Standards

Explanation using Example

Imagine a factory that manufactures paint. This factory uses various chemicals that can potentially harm the environment if not handled properly. According to Section 7 of The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, the factory is not allowed to discharge or emit chemical waste into the air or water beyond a certain limit, which is set by environmental standards. If the factory exceeds these limits, it would be violating the law. To comply with Section 7, the factory must have proper waste treatment facilities to ensure that emissions and discharges are within the prescribed standards.
