Jamshedpur, Oct 9: Industrial Pollution is one of the major contributors top the environmental pollution.
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has recognised this fact & has identified 17�categories�of most polluting industries.�
CPCB has now made it mandatory for these industries to monitor the air & water pollution on-line. Further, this data would be transmitted on-line to the State Pollution Control Boards (SPCB) & the CPCB, said PK Srivatsav addressing a press conference on Friday.
He further informed that Jharkhand was one of the first states that implemented it. Today, the state PCB has a server that gathers inputs from various industries on-line. There is social awareness that is building up, as the pollution of rivers & air is one of the major concerns for the society today.
