The body that lays down national ambient air quality standards in India is the

  • A.State Pollution Control Board
  • B.Bureau of Indian Standards
  • C.National Green Tribunal
  • D.Central Pollution Control Board

Answer: D

Correct answer: Central Pollution Control Board

The Central Pollution Control Board lays down the national ambient air quality standards, which apply uniformly across the country.

The division of labour is deliberate: the CPCB sets standards and co-ordinates, the state boards implement them - granting consents, monitoring and enforcing locally. The Bureau of Indian Standards writes product standards and the National Green Tribunal adjudicates disputes; neither sets ambient limits.
