Health Status of Sewage Workers: A Case Study

This study examines the health status of sewage workers, including their illiteracy, unawareness about health, and exposure to different xenobiotics. It also explores the impact of waste water on their health, particularly in terms of cytotoxic, mutagenic, and genotoxic effects. The study uses various methods to assess the blood elemental status, heavy metal exposure, and DNA damage in sewage workers.

  4. Choose first to Do next Selection based on counseling and interview

  5. Science is but the statement of truth found out

  6. Blood heavy metals

  7. Blood Elemental Status By mortar and pastel Aliqoutaed to a cryoprotect container At -800C for 36 hrs By a pelletizes

  8. Total Suspended Solids(TSS) and Total Dissolved Solids(TDS) is a headache of water • This is the proper time where ”Size does matter” • “Some time tough barriers are easy for an ant”…what happens for this tiny solids to jump into blood from skin!! • “No binocular to select a wine”..apart from this complicated route main mode of intaking of heavy metals is ingestion which can easily be observed by bare eye in work area, arrant fools are working without gloves. A particle is not a Particle is Not a Particle

  9. Cut your coat according to your cloth Sewage Workers

  10. Disparity beginsall units are in ppm

  11. Intensity of DNA damage 1 2 • 3

  12. Blood Iron Statusall units are in ppm

  13. The Hours of Misery Hang on One's Hand

  14. Correlation study

  15. Zinc status in blood All units are in ppm

  16. No hum and haw about their future“Reckless youth makes rueful age” • Deficiency of Zn arises many questions? • About metalliothionine activity • Metabolism of other metals • Detoxification rate of unessential metals • Status of their metal -metal interaction to make clusters • For Se deficiency Will the antioxidant status be same??.....and many and more.

  17. It goes without saying… “A fair reputation is delicate in its nature, and by no means rapid in its growth.—It will not shoot up in a night ,like the ground of the prophet, but like the ground , it may perish in a night”--------Jeremy Taylor • The inhuman practice of manual scavenging was banned in the country 19years back in 1993 through passing legislation of “The Employment of ManualScavengers and Construction of Dry Latrines (Prohibition) Act, 1993” ( EMS CDLA ) • Government of India currently attempts tobring out a new law on “Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and Their Rehabilitation Bill, 2012″ to the significant fringe level manual scavengersand dynamic sewer workers to ensure good practices in environmental protection. • Compensation shall be paid by the respondents and recoverable from the contractors, if permissible in law, to all the workmen suffering from any occupational disease, ailment or accident in accordance with the provisions of the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923.
