Abstract:

The present study is conducted on monitoring the environment and the impacts on human health associated with the paint industry. It is done to investigate the proposed area's environmental parameters and the health status of the people working at the site and in the vicinity. The paint industry is important from various perspectives because the paint is commonly used as a protection or decorative material for different objects and surfaces. Quality parameters of groundwater, wastewater, ambient air, and noise are studied, and results are discussed. National Environmental Quality standards are used to check if these parameters fall within the range of NEQS. TDS, TSS, COD, BOD, sulfates, phenolic compounds, and PM10 are high, and the noise level slightly exceeds the defined limits. Respiratory problems, asthma, heart problems, coughing, nausea, and dizziness are the main health problems within the industry. Environmental monitoring shows the atmospheric conditions of the industry and health problems are also related to some of the parameters high in wastewater or groundwater.

Keywords:

Ambient Air Monitoring, Groundwater, Human Health Impacts, NEQS, Noise, Wastewater.
