Lead Contamination in Groundwater and Its Neurotoxic Implications in Rajasthan

By: Lovish Raheja

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2022 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: A, , course: Research Methodology and Thesis Writing, language: English, abstract: Groundwater accounts for about 97% of the world's fresh water, serving as a crucial resource for various human activities such as urban water supply, agriculture, and industry. However, the growing demand for groundwater extraction, driven by advancements in technology and population growth, has led to increased stress on these resources. Consequently, this heightened exploitation raises the risk of groundwater contamination, particularly from toxic metals like lead (Pb). Lead contamination in groundwater poses significant health risks, especially for vulnerable groups like children. Even at low concentrations, lead, commonly found in various industrial processes, can have severe adverse effects on human health. Children, in particular, are susceptible to lead's neurotoxic effects, which can lead to long-term cognitive impairments and developmental disorders. Rajasthan heavily relies on groundwater for irrigation and drinking water needs, making it particularly susceptible to lead contamination. Despite numerous studies highlighting heavy metal contamination in Rajasthan's groundwater, a comprehensive overview specifically focusing on lead contamination and its neurotoxic effects is lacking. Therefore, this study aims to fill this gap by systematically examining the state of lead contamination in Rajasthan's groundwater and its implications for public health. The objectives of this study are to identify the main sources of lead contamination in Rajasthan's environment, elucidate the mechanisms and pathways through which lead contaminates groundwater, assess the current status of lead contamination in groundwater, evaluate its potential exposure to the general population, and examine the neurotoxic implications of such exposure. Additionally, the study aims to provide recommendations for policymakers to mitigate population exposure and associated health risks. By addressing these research questions, this study seeks to provide valuable insights into the extent of lead contamination in Rajasthan's groundwater and its broader public health implications. The findings and recommendations generated from this study have the potential to inform evidence-based policy interventions aimed at protecting public health and mitigating the adverse effects of lead contamination on vulnerable populations.

Flue Gas Recirculation. An Emission Control Technique for Industrial Boilers

By: Lovish Raheja

Scientific Essay from the year 2022 in the subject Engineering - Industrial Engineering and Management, grade: A+, , course: M.Sc. (Environmental Studies and Resource Management), language: English, abstract: It is now a well-established fact that air pollution has worsened over the years and the major credit goes to industrial growth. The boilers and stoves are one of the major sources of air pollution from the industries. Therefore, controlling their emissions to a significant extent can lead to the reduction of air pollution. The greenhouse gases of family NOx are important pollutants to be considered in this regard. As per the study by CPCB (2011), in Delhi, industry power plants contribute to approximately 65% of total NOx emissions. Therefore, control of this pollutant may not only lead to the air quality improvement in terms of NOx pollution but will also be beneficial to the environment as NOx cause many ecotoxic effects such as acid rain, eutrophication, ozone formation etc. There are various emission control technologies available for NOx emissions, which can be categorized into two parts-Combustion Control and Post-combustion technologies in the particular context of boilers. Post-combustion methods are mostly expensive as compared to the combustion control methods and are usually not deployed for boilers having input less than 100 MM Btu/hr. So, the focus should be more on combustion control rather than post-combustion treatment. One such powerful method of combustion control is named Flue Gas Recirculation (FGR) which causes a significant reduction in NOx emissions by recirculating flue gases from the boiler exhaust duct into the main combustion chamber. The essay discusses details of the different aspects of this technology.
