Control acts for noise pollution
Unfortunately till today, there is no single central act dealing exclusively with problems of noise pollution in India. However, there are some remedies in various enactments to abate and control of noise pollution.
Control acts for Solid Waste
1.The Indian Penal Code and Solid Waste Management:-
The Indian Penal Code of 1860 has dealt with solid waste management under chapter XIV ‘of offences affecting the public health, safety, convenience, decency and morals’.
Since, solid waste gives rise to various type of diseases and is dangerous to public health, it has been treated as ‘public nuisance’ and has been made punishable.
But there is no direct section in the code which deals with the problem of solid waste.
