ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATION   R.B.Chavan Department of Textile Technology Indian Institute of Technology Hauz-Khas, New Delhi 110016
Introduction  India is the first country that has integrated the protection and improvement of the environment in its constitution.  There are no specific environmental laws for textile industry sector alone.  industry specific standards, which the textile industry is required to comply with while setting up or operating an industrial unit.  The regulatory authorities are  Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF)  Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) at central level  State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) at state level.  Enforcement is done by SPCBs .

Air Pollution legislation   The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, as amended by Amendment Act, 1987 The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Rules, 1982 This law defined an air pollutant as any solid, liquid or gaseous substance present in the atmosphere in such concentration as may be or tend to be injurious to human beings or other living creatures or plants or property or environment.  This Act requires approval prior to operating any industrial plant. Government may suggest “control equipment” prior to giving its consent to any industry for its operation. It may include chimney etc. In case there is any new technology for emission control, then the Board may insist on this to being installed. Standards specific to industries have been specified.
Penalty Penalties are  minimum of six months imprisonment to a maximum of seven years and fine up to Rs. 5,000  for every day during which violation  continues after conviction  This law makes it clear that when offences are committed by a company, its director, manager, secretary or other officers could be held guilty and punished accordingly.  As the industries are running on age-old processes, outdated technology, fuel, coal as their source of energy where there are no proper installations for measurement and treatment of emissions like SO2, oxides of nitrogen, suspended particulate, etc it becomes harder and impossible to fulfill the norms of the legislative standards.
Noise Pollution The legislation under this includes  the newly established: Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000  Increasing  noise levels in public places from various sources,  industrial activity,  construction activity,  generator sets,  other mechanical devices  have deleterious effects on human health and the psychological well being of the people,  The GoI has considered necessary to regulate and control noise producing and generating sources with the objective of  maintaining the ambient air quality standards in respect of noise.
The state government may categorize the areas into industrial,  commercial,  residential or silence areas/zones  for the purpose of implementation of noise standards for different areas. The state government shall take measures  to control  noise including noise emanating from vehicular movements  and ensure that the specified  noise levels do not exceed  Noise Pollution
A person may, if the noise level exceeds the ambient noise standards by 10 dB  or more given in standards against any area/zone, can make a complaint to the authority. The authority shall act on the complaint and take action against the violator in accordance with the provisions of these rules and any other law in force.
Norms for noise pollution Silence zone is defined as an area comprising not less than 100 metres around hospitals, educational institutions and courts. The silence zones are declared as such by the competent authority.
Ozone Depletion The legislation refers to the: Ozone Depletion Substances (Regulation) Rules, 2000 Ozone (O3) is a form of oxygen in the atmosphere about 20 kms. above the earth’s surface that efficiently screens out almost all the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. This radiation has the potential to cause skin cancer, eye damage; suppress body’s immune system; decrease crop yield; cause damage to forests and affect ocean life.
In accordance with the National Strategy for Ozone depletion substances (ODS) phase out the GoI - MoEF, have framed comprehensive draft rules, covering various aspects of production,  sale,  consumption,  Export and  import of ODS. Some of the important provisions of the proposed draft ODS rules, are as follows:
important provisions of the proposed draft ODS rules Compulsory to register with MoEF Restriction on production levels  Ban on creating new capacity or expansion of capacity Export restricted to countries who are signatory to Montreal Protocol Quantity produced in excess of maximum allowable consumption for the respective years, if any, to be for export purposes only.
Depletion of ozone layer is still a cause for concern  ODS continue to be used in developing countries in refrigeration and air-conditioning, preparation of foam and spray products, fire extinguishing, and as solvents in electronics and other industries. In the textile industry chlorinated solvents like  dichloromethane  tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene and  methylene chloride  are often used in fabric  scouring,  dye carrier, cleaning purposes etc.  with the regulations  the industries are left to abate the impact of all these substances and seek for possible substitutions and alternatives
Environment Protection Act ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],environment  includes “ water, air, land and the inter-relationship which exists  between “water, air and land, and human beings, other living creatures, plants, micro-organisms and property.”  It also defined a hazardous substance as “any substance  which  is liable to cause harm to human beings, other living creatures, plants, micro-organisms, property or the environment.”
penalty for violation  of the act may be punishable by  imprisonment up to seven years or fine up to Rs 100.000  Additional fine of up to Rs 5,000  for every day of violation.
Hazardous Substance/Waste legislation related to hazardous waste: Hazardous Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules, 1989 Manufacture, Storage, and Import of Hazardous Chemical Rules, 1989 Hazardous Wastes (Management and Handling) Amendment  Rules, 2000 – Draft Notification Manufacture, Storage, transport and Import of Hazardous Chemical  Amendment Rules, 2000 – Draft Notification Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 Public Liability Insurance Rules,1991 Proper handling, transport, storage and disposal of hazardous waste is probably the most important aspect of any industry. For this reason, guidelines have been issued under this set of rules.

  • 14. Depletion of ozone layer is still a cause for concern ODS continue to be used in developing countries in refrigeration and air-conditioning, preparation of foam and spray products, fire extinguishing, and as solvents in electronics and other industries. In the textile industry chlorinated solvents like dichloromethane tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene and methylene chloride are often used in fabric scouring, dye carrier, cleaning purposes etc. with the regulations the industries are left to abate the impact of all these substances and seek for possible substitutions and alternatives
