The parameters related to oxidative stress and heavy metal levels were assessed during summer and winter seasons in buffaloes from environmentally exposed areas (n=60) of Ludhiana district of Punjab (India) and control area (n=40). Buffaloes of heavy metal exposed areas exhibited significantly (p less than 0.05) increased blood levels of Cr, Ni, As and Pb along with significantly (p less than 0.05) higher erythrocytic malondialdehyde (MDA) levels; whereas significant (p less than 0.05) decrease was observed in superoxide dismutase activity and the levels of reduced glutathione (GSH), vitamins C and E as compared to buffaloes from control area. The level of oxidative stress was higher in all buffaloes during summer as compared to winter as indicated by significantly (p less than 0.05) higher MDA level, and lower concentrations of GSH, vitamins C and E irrespective of the area. Blood Cr, Ni, As and Pb levels showed highly significant positive correlation (p less than 0.01) with MDA level but negative correlation with SOD activity and the concentrations of GSH, vitamins C and E. Thus, it may be concluded that buffaloes exposed to heavy metals encounter significant oxidative stress and potential to quench free radicals is compromised during summer.

The study involves evaluation of quality of groundwater and soil near the Thermal power plant located in Udupi District, Karnataka, India based on seasonal variation. 24 samples of ground water and soil were collected during Pre-Monsoon, Post- Monsoon and Monsoon Seasons from the places which are surrounding the Thermal Power plant. Collected Ground water samples were tested for detection of various heavy metal concentrations such as Ni, Fe, Mn, Cr, and Pb and soil samples were detected for Ni, Fe, Mn, Cr, Pb, Cd and Co. Collected soil samples were sieved according to different Standard sieve size. After sieving, soil samples were digested using tri-acids (Nitric Acid, Hydrogen peroxide and Concentrated Hydrochloric acid). Both Ground water and Soil samples were analysed for heavy metal contamination by using Atomic Absorptive Spectrometry. From the results obtained for Pre-Monsoon, Post-Monsoon and Monsoon Season it showed that concentration of heavy metals in the samples were exceeding the permissible limit prescribed by WHO and BIS. Hence preliminary treatment should be done before discharging in to Ash ponds.

AbstractIn order to assess the quality of groundwater near ash pond of Parichha Thermal Power Plant (Jhansi), heavy metal evaluation index (HEI)was calculated. An unlined ash pond is being used for a long time to dispose fly ash generated by thermal power plant. To assess the level of groundwater contamination due to ash slurry disposal, both groundwater and ash slurry samples were collected and analysed in terms of their chemical concentration. In the present study, it was observed that significant amount of trace elements can leach out from ash slurry and may contaminate groundwater due to downward percolation through soil strata in an unlined ash pond. Obtained results revealed the range of heavy metals concentration in groundwater as [Ni (0.02–0.07 mg/l), Pb (0.14–0.41 mg/l), Fe (0.20–7.21 mg/l), Mn (0.01–0.14 mg/l), Cr (0.03–0.05 mg/l) and Al (0.05–0.26 mg /l)]. HEI showed a heavy load of metal pollution within the range of 5 km from the ash pond while moderate pollution within the range of 7 km and very low at a distance of 15 km.
