The Environmental Protection Act, 1986, enacted by the Indian government, aims to protect and improve the environment. It empowers the central government to regulate pollution, enforce environmental laws, coordinate with states, and prevent hazards to humans, animals, plants, and property across India. It was a response to environmental disasters like the Bhopal gas tragedy and implements decisions from the 1972 Stockholm Conference. The Act covers air, water, soil, noise pollution, hazardous waste, and mandates environmental clearances for industries. Penalties for violations include fines and imprisonment, ensuring sustainable development and safety.
