This problem stems from industrial processes and emissions from power plant stacks, automobile emissions, and general ambient air deterioration form construction and other industrial activities. (references)

IEAT follows the DIW's and PCDs' standards for stack emissions and ambient air quality, and since January 1999, it has also issued its own standard for the loading emission level per unit area for all industrial estates under its authority. (references)

PCD has targeted stringent standards for water, air, and solid and hazardous wastes to be met by the beginning of the 9th National Plan (2002). For example, to reach specific goals, the Air Quality and Noise Management Division is undertaking extensive monitoring activities to provide the basis for developing plans and standards for ambient air quality.
