In order to address two major environmental concerns in India, viz.

their own state level boards to address all the environmental concerns.
They investigate, collect and disseminate information relating to water,
air and land pollution, lay down standards for sewage/trade effluent and
emissions. These boards provide technical assistance to governments in
promoting cleanliness of streams and wells by prevention, control and
abatement of water pollution, and improve the quality of air and to
prevent, control or abate air pollution in the country.
These boards also carry out and sponsor investigation and research
relating to problems of water and air pollution and for their prevention,
control or abatement. They organize, through mass media, a
comprehensive mass awareness programme for the same. The PCBs
prepare manuals, codes and guidelines relating to treatment and disposal
of sewage and trade effluents.
