The Comprehensive Environmental Pollution Index (CEPI) has been developed as a tool to assess and categorize industrial clusters in terms of priority of attention. The CEPI is calculated based on the air, water, and land pollution levels around the industrial area and health-related statistics. The revised CEPI criteria have been proposed, eliminating subjective factors and retaining factors that can be measured precisely. Over time, proposals were received to revise the CEPI assessment criteria from SPCBs, State Governments, Industrial Associations, and concerned Stakeholders. The revised CEPI Version 2016 was developed after considering these suggestions, eliminating subjective factors and retaining the factors that can be measured precisely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
