The influence of mining activities on the quality of groundwater and its implications for health

Jyoti Rajoria and Dr. Chitra Gupta

Abstract: 

This study shows water pollution around mining areas and hazardous effect on human life. How mining effect, the life of human whose are living near or around mining areas.Analyse the physio-chemical parameter, primarily investigation and interpretation of the ground water-rock interactions and solute acquisition processes that control groundwater composition around the Stone Crushers or near mining region. Ground water is expected to be potable with presence of Chloride (Cl-), Fluoride (F-), Arsenic, Nitrates in slight excess amount as per the international standard The quality of ground water has been altered due to pollution and is denoted by knowing the physical parameters like pH, TS, TDS, TSS and Chemical parameters like total alkalinity, dissolved CO2, Mg-Hardness, Ca-Hardness, Total Chlorinity etc. Diseases related to these ions may be mild to severe (such as Respiratory Problem, Gastro Intestinal, Neurogenic, Carcinogenic Condition) in different locations and in different age groups in both the genders. These diseases may be related to work either as a direct, causal agent or as being aggravated by work exposure.The presence of heavy metals such as Mn, Ni, Fe, Cu, Si and Pb in high concentration in groundwater can cause an adverse effect on human health and making that water may not be potable.
