Environment and local nuisance
Environment or local nuisance problem — I need help
A general environment complaint — we ask one question so you reach the pollution board, the local body or the police.
Start here
Report the smoke, dust or burning with the name of the unit and its address to the State Pollution Control Board.
Who is responsible
Air pollution from a factory, kiln, generator or road work is handled by the State Pollution Control Board, which can inspect the unit and order compliance. Photographs of the emission and the address are what make the complaint actionable, because the board issues notices to a named polluter rather than to an area.
