The first environment related Act was the Easement Act of 1882 which allowed private rights to use groundwater. The Indian Forest Act of 1927 was enacted to consolidate the laws related to forests. The Factories Act of 1948 ensured the welfare of workers and its application in hazardous processes. The River Boards Act of 1956 enabled the setting up of a central government advisory River Board to resolve issues in interstate cooperation. Subsequently, the following acts were passed Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 and Atomic Energy Act, 1982. 

Over the years, regulations have been simplified wifh an aim to reduce the total time required for the approval process. The simplifications include reducing the number of interfacing agencies and approvals, and allowing parallel activities for clearances. As per the EPA Amendment Act 2007, environmental clearance for project proposals were to be granted usually within the mandated time frame of 120 days from the date of receipt of complete information from the project authorities. The project clearances had been delayed due to non-submission of the requisite information. Some of the steps taken to expedite the process included (Wildlife Protection Society, 2008).

Even if the domestic environment is not at the front of a global trend, domestic users can be more sensitive to global problems and needs than potential adopters in countries where the problem is more advanced. This sensitivity of demand cam push domestic firms into a global perspective and increase its ability to meet global problems before firms in other countries. For instance, consumers in a country can be sensitive to the effects of worldwide climatic change even if their domestic environment is not affected as much compared to other countries. Other exanples are wildlife protection, wood cutting in the tropics and pollution of raw material extraction. In Germany, consumers (as well as politicians of all political... 

Prevention of Significant Deterioration. EPA originally issued regulations for Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) in December 1974 to protect clean air areas. Three air quaUty classes were designated Class I to protect pristine areas. Class II to allow moderate development, and Class III to permit more intensive development. Most areas in the United States were initially designated as Class II. Many large national parks and wildlife areas have been classified as Class I. 

When it approved the New Animal Drug AppHcation (NADA) of formalin, FDA ruled that use of formalin for fisheries was safe for humans and the environment. They ruled that effluents from fish treatments at 250 mg/L should be diluted 10 times and from egg treatments 75 times if 1,000 —2,000 mg/L were used (10,11). Before registering the compound, FDA also addressed carcinogenicity by stating it was not concerned about human exposure from either water or fish treated with formalin. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has procedural guidelines that should protect workers from harm fill levels of formalin. Calculations based on treatment levels demonstrated that a fishery worker is exposed to not more than 0.117 mg/L formalin in the air, well below the levels estabUshed by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration to protect workers.
