About This Dataset
The dataset contains information on the Comprehensive Environment Pollution Index (CEPI) for 28 industrial clusters and areas across India. The data includes scores for air, water, and land pollution in 2009, as well as overall CEPI scores for the years 2009, 2011, and 2013.
Data Quality
The dataset is robust with high consistency across years. It contains 28 records, representing key industrial zones. There is only one missing value in the 'Land - 2009' column for the Angul Talcher cluster.
Use Cases
Analyzing the effectiveness of pollution control measures in industrial zones, longitudinal studies of environmental health in India, and identifying priority areas for environmental policy intervention.
Limitations
The dataset is limited to the years 2009-2013 and covers a specific subset of 28 industrial clusters. Recent trends or newer clusters are not included.
Methodology
The scores are calculated by the CPCB using a scientific framework that considers pollutant concentration, impact on people (health), and impact on eco-geological features.
