Assessment of Health Risk due to Stone Crusher Pollution at Bharatkoop Town, District Chitrakoot
Journal Title: International journal of Emerging Trends in Science and Technology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Now a days air pollution is a major problem in India. Unplanned urbanization and industrialization are the biggest cause of environmental pollution. Air pollution due to stone crusher industries causes major environmental and health risk. Sampling of respirable particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) was done with the help of APM 550 instrument and Whiteman filter paper. The concentrations of particulate matter were found above the permissible limit as per the standards given by Central Pollution Control Board (2009). A physical survey was carried out with the help of questionnaire, personal interviews and heath data were also collected from hospitals, Primary health centers etc. The questionnaire also covered duration of a particular disease when the disease was perceived in apex extent. This study also reveals the acute and chronic effects of dust pollution on health of stone crusher’s workers. Higher concentration of respirable particulate matter causes various respiratory diseases, lung diseases, skin problems, eye irritations and heart diseases etc. There is a strong relation between dust pollution and health effects. It is identified that the study area is at very high risk due to stone crusher industrial emissions.
