Foreword
There is a need for evolving emission standards specifically for small boilers. incinerators and diesel generator sets. because these are after located near residential areas. and in industrial areas of metropolition cities. The standards proposed in the following pages meet this need. The standards are intended to be reviewed in June. 1989. based on the results obtained till then.

As prescribed in the Section 17(1 )(g) of the Air (Prevention And Control Of Pollution) Act. 1981. the standards are to be laid down by the State Pollution Control Boards. The State Boards may adopt standards that are more stringent than those given herein depending upon the location of the industries. specially if it is in a protected area for instance in the Agra-Mathura trapezium. The State Boards would not. however. relax the standards.
