There are a wide variety of legal regulations regarding industrial pollution control. Under the United States Clean Air Act, for example, all major sources of air pollution must obtain Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permits to prevent emissions that exceed certain thresholds and can contribute to harmful air quality. There are also guidelines set forth by the USEPA's National Pollutant Inventory which detail standards for many different categories of emissions from industry. Additionally, companies should implement an effective management plan aimed at controlling and reducing industrial waste produced both onsite and off-site. This plan should include measures such as installing advanced emission control technology, setting up waste treatment systems, tracking water and hazardous materials handling activities, implementing efficient waste disposal practices, reducing energy usage where possible and implementing proper maintenance schedules on equipment in order to prevent potential environmental problems associated with industrial activity. Additionally , it is advisable to conduct periodic reviews and benchmarking in order evaluate any potential violations or non-compliance with applicable rules & regulations ,and promptly initiate corrective actions as required.

Each country has its own set of regulations pertaining to industrial pollution control. The most common rules are those issued by the environment, public health and labour authorities as well as OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) and EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in the US. You need to ensure that you are complying with all these regulations depending on the type of operations conducted at your factory. Compliance can be ensured through proper training for employees, maintenance of pollution control systems and routine monitoring/testing of emissions.
