 AIR POLLUTION
It’s the presence of toxic chemicals or compounds (including those

of biological origin) in the air, at levels that pose a health risk.
Air pollution means the presence of chemicals or compounds in the air which are usually not present and which lower the quality of
the air or cause detrimental changes to the quality of life (such as the damaging of the ozone layer or causing global warming)

AIR POLLUTION LAWS

THE AIR (prevention and control of pollution) ACT was enacted in 1987 to provide for the prevention, control and

Air pollution in
Hyderabad
ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES
 Contributions of pollution in Hyderabad
Industrial exhaust and burning of agricultural waste were the
smallest contributors to air pollution in the city, while
vehicular exhaust and activities such as construction and
demolition were the largest contributors.

Air pollution levels in the city have seen a rise in 2017 in

comparison with 2016, though officials say the rise has not
reached alarming proportions.

Air pollution data collated and published online by Telangana

State Pollution Control Board (TSPCB) shows a hike across
various parameters and locations, with industrial,
commercial and residential areas all falling prey to the same
malaise.

POLLUTANTS
Among the top five air pollution parameters, namely, nitrogen
oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), Sulphur
dioxide (SO2) and ozone (O3), there is not a single indicator
that does not show an increase.

According to TSPCB Joint Chief Environmental Scientist (JCES)

P Veeranna, there is a slight increase, but it cannot be called
abnormal.

An increase in urban air pollution of 10-15 per cent annually

is considered normal and predictable.

The most prominent contributor of air pollution is exhaust

from outdated vehicles, the more the number of outdated
vehicles plying on the roads, the more will be the air
pollution.

 INSPECTION PROCEDURE
FOR COMPLIANCE INSPECTION UNDER WATER AND AIR ACTS
Compliance Inspections are inspections done to evaluate or verify compliance status after necessary conditions have been
stipulated to the establishments / industries.

Objective:
The objective of the compliance inspection is to verify whether the industries:
Establishments are operating in compliance with stipulated conditions, and if not, to collect the evidence for taking action to
prevent environmental pollution.
The compliance inspections are also aimed to provide necessary guidance / directions to the industries to improve their
compliance status with the stipulated conditions.
The compliance inspections help the Board to ensure that industries take all necessary measures to control environmental
pollution.

Pre-inspection activities:
 The Inspector shall learn the industries and its activities.
 Familiarising with the industrial people and their background check helps the inspectors.
 Enables the inspector to note areas that may need more detailed verification / investigation during the inspection.
 The inspector can obtain and review the following information about the industry, which may be available at websites:
 Exact location of the industry
 Latest consent orders issued to the industry.
 Line of activity and operating scale of the industry o Manufacturing processes carried out by the industry
 Previous inspection records and reports.
 Track record of the industry with respect to closure orders / directions issued by the Board, if any.

 INSPECTION
Inspection procedure
Inspection shall be made during regular working hours of the establishment / industry except when special circumstances indicate
otherwise.

Inspector shall check the surrounding areas of the industry to verify if there is any discharge of effluents or dumping of solid or
hazardous waste.

Thereafter, the inspector shall inspect the industry.

First locates the manager.

The inspector shall inspect following areas in the industry premises, in addition to other areas as required, to verify compliance
status:

o Manufacturing area

o Raw materials and finished products storage area

o Water storage area

o Effluent generating sources

o Effluent collection, storage, treatment and disposal areas

o Air pollution sources and control systems

o Solid and hazardous waste generation sources, storage and disposal areas

o Environment management cell to verify record maintenance.

The inspector shall verify all the records pertaining to production, water pollution & control, air pollution & control, management of solid and hazardous waste.

EVS- AIR POLLUTION - INSPECTION GROUP N0: 6

11
The inspector shall verify and collect specific information on the following points:

o Operational status of the industry (whether in operation / seasonal / sick / closed, etc)

o Production records for a period of last six months (RG-I copies) o Consumption quantities of major raw materials during a period of last six months

o Fresh water source and storage capacity along with details of tanks.

o Status of flow meters provided for recording water consumption for various purposes along with meter readings at the time of inspection.

o Details of Water Cess assessment and payment

o Effluent generation sources and quantities (as per records)

o Effluent collection, treatment and disposal details.

o Operation and maintenance of effluent treatment systems.

o Status of flow meters provided for recording effluent generation, treatment and disposal along with meter readings at the time of inspection.

o Air pollution sources and control measures.

o Operation and maintenance of air pollution control equipment / systems.

o Status of energy meters provided for effluent treatment and air pollution control systems along with meter readings at the time of inspection

o Details of solid and hazardous waste generation, storage and disposal.

The Inspector shall collect photographic evidence for observations of noncompliance.

The inspector may seek information / clarifications or documentary evidence from the industry and if the representative is denying the same shall be recorded for
taking further necessary action in the matter.

Safety first even for inspection.

At the end of the inspection, the Inspector may inform the representative of the industry about apparent non-compliance observed during inspection so that
industry may initiate necessary corrective action wherever required.

Control measures of air pollution
Use of filters
Activated carbon is one of the most
popular forms of air pollution control.
Change in Fuel: Control of VOC
This technique involves the use Control and treatment of VOC and organic hazardous air pollutant emissions are
of less polluting fuel to reduce air generally accomplished by Adsorption, Incineration, Condensation
pollution.

This type of control involves the use of

a pollution filter, carbon, to reduce
the amount of pollutants that are
allowed to escape into the air.
Use of low sulfur fuel instead of
high sulfur fuel by electric
utilities is an example of this
method.
Gas absorption
This is one of the most commonly used methods, especially for controlling
emissions from small sources.

When in use, these filters absorb
pollutants helping to cleanse the air of
any possible toxins.
Bio-filtration
It uses microorganisms, often bacteria
and fungi, to dissolve pollutants
Industries that employ bio-filtration
systems include food and waste
plants, pharmaceutical companies,
and wastewater management
facilities.

The adsorbed material can be either recovered or incinerated.

While this method of air pollution

control works rather well, a large
