Guidelines on Environmental Management in Industrial Estates Foreword Central Pollution Control Board focussed the attention of the promoters of Industrial Estates in the country on the pollution problems of the Estates through a symposium held at Jaipur, Rajastha,l during December 27-28. 1979. The symposium recommended a set of principles in order1o improve the environmental conditions inexjsting industrial estates and for planning of new industrial estates. Since then many attempts have been made to control pollution caused by industrial estates. The experience out of these attempts pointed to the need for development o~ comprehensive guidelines for the waste management in industrial estates. This report is an attempt in this direction. The present publication, I hope, will meet the the need. The inputs from Dr. G. Werner and Mr. H. KraIt, ConslJltants from Federal Republic of Germany in the formulation of the guidelines are gratefully acknowledged N. S. TIWANA Chairman,CPCB
