Abstract

 

Urban and rural regions have various causes of pollution which may be differ from place to place and depend on geography and development activity. The various anthropogenic activities include excessive industrialization, resource exploitation, and over consumption of natural resources. Resources and the ever-increasing population are the main causes of pollution. In the review that is being presented, several areas of pollution and control legislation in India are discussed, with a focus on the history, current situation, international treaties, gaps, and short comings. The examination also includes legislative restrictions and court responses to important rulings concerning air pollution. The drawbacks associated with the process for enforcing environmental legislation for air pollution management have been noted.
