Excess arsenic and fluoride in Ghaziabad groundwater

15:21 Feb 26 2015 Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India

Description
A local NGO has found excess (more than normal limits) of toxic elements such as Arsenic, Chromium and fluoride in groundwater samples from water pumps in Ghaziabad, UP.
These included areas near the Crossings Republik complex, beside the Gulmohar Apartments in Rajnagar Extension, at Makanpur in the Indirapuram area, at Prahladgarhi in Vasundhra, in the Mohan Nagar area and at Vijaynagar, along NH-24.
These elements seep into the areas neighbouring the Hindon river, where industrial effluent flows all the way from Saharanpur. A lot of untreated or partially treated sewage is also discharged into the Hindon. Chromium is, of course, mainly an industrial effluent.
