KEY POINTS
· When something as fundamental as the health of our children is at risk, we should devise a more robust, permanent solution to the problem of pollution.
· This forms the basis of the need for amending the 1981 Air Act and making it more compatible with contemporary India.
· Recently, the Centre for Science and Environment reported that air pollution kills an average 8.5 out of every 10,000 children in India before they turn five.
· The Indian government needs to identify the tangible benefits that concrete legislation on air pollution has brought across the world.
· In recent times, the government has worked on a much hyped “mission-mode” — drafting policies and programmes to alleviate pollution. But under programmes such as the National Clean Air Programme, no true enforcement of targets and goals is guaranteed.
· There is unanimous consensus amongst many court rulings, Parliament Committee reports, media investigations, and several environmentalists that under the 1981 Air Act, the Pollution Control Boards are presently unable to fulfil their mandate as watchdogs against polluting industries.
· A new bill will plug many loopholes in the 1981 Act and would align the functions and priorities of the Pollution Boards towards reducing the adverse impact of pollution on human health in India.
· In its present form, India’s Air Act does not mention or prioritise the importance of reducing the health impact of rising pollution.
· Accountability and deterrence are essential in making sure industries comply with emission standards.
· In a federal set-up, the Centre and states must work in synergy to ensure that targets set for the country and states are fulfilled.
· Pollution control boards must be empowered sufficiently to ensure that pollution does not take more lives or hinders the overall progress of India.
