With increasing industrialization and the establishment of factories which emit smoke and other air pollutants, there was worldwide concern for protection of environment. In June 1972, the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment was held in Stockholm, where decisions were taken to take appropriate steps for preservation of the natural resources of the earth, which, among other things, included preservation of the quality of air and water by controlling pollution.  In 1974, Parliament enacted the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, with a view to prevent and control water pollution and to maintain and restore wholesomeness of water. In furtherance of the decisions taken at Stockholm, Parliament enacted the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, to provide for prevention, control and abatement of air pollution.  The Water and the Air Pollution Acts provides for the constitution of the State Pollution Control Boards to deal with the problem of water and air pollution.

The Goa State Pollution Control Board (GSPCB) is an autonomous statutory organization constituted on 1st July, 1988 under the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981. The GSPCB is presently operating from  Saligao. The Offices of the Chairman, Member Secretary, Technical section, Legal section, Accounts section, Scientific section (including Laboratory), Information and Technology section & Administrative Section are currently operating from the premises at Saligao, Bardez – Goa. SPCB have been assigned an important role for prevention and control of pollution from different sources. In recent years, additional responsibilities have been assigned to the Boards for enforcement of various statutes.
