Dear Members,
I t g i v e s m e
immense pleasure th
to present the 25
Annual Report of
National Institute of
Miners' Health for
the year 2014-15.
Year 2014-15 has
been full of various activities as the Institute th
celebrated 25 year of its existence and service to
the nation in the field of occupational health and
hygiene of mine workers. To commemorate its
Silver Jubilee Year, the Institute organized
various programmes through-out the year such
as organization of National Workshops on
“Detection of Pneumoconiosis and use of ILO
Classification 2000”, “Applied Ergonomics
for Mining”, etc and National Conference on
“Research Methodology & Avenues for
Grants”. The celebrations were culminated by
organizing a National Conference on “Miners'
Health”- Occupational Health Hazards and
Diseases in Indian mines and Mineral
industries' followed by a Free Medical Camp for
the Ex. Gold Mine workers & their families at birth
place of the Institute i.e. Kolar Gold Fields.
Members are aware of the contribution of NIMH
in detection of Silicosis in stone mines workers in
Rajasthan. In the year 2014-15, the Institute
further evaluated the chest radiographs of 403
persons with the history of work in stone mines
from Karauli, Dausa, Bharatpur, Bundi and Baran
Districts of Rajasthan. The evaluation showed
that occurrence and severity of Silicosis was
directly related to the number of years of work in
the stone mines.
During the year, the Institute has entered into
Memorandum of Understanding with Central India
Institute of Medical Sciences (CIIMS), one of the
leading Medical Research Institutes in India. The
MoU will enable exchange of important R & D
facilities in order to promote academic and
research in the areas of cooperation to intensify
the high priority area programme of science and
technology. Both the institutes agree to conduct,
whenever feas ib le , j o in t Workshops ,
Conferences, Training Courses within the areas of
co-operation.
As a part of Memorandum of Academic Exchange
with Faculty of Medicine, University of Fukui,
Japan and Central Chest Institute of Thailand for
sustained academic exchange and cooperation in
educational research in occupational health, one
student from the School of Medicine, University of
Fukui, Japan visited the Institute for training in
miners' health.
During the year under review, the Institute has
been implementing 2 S&T projects titled
“Evaluation of Biomarkers for early detection
of Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) in the
Mine Worker” and “Development of Standard
Framework and Guidelines for Noise Mapping
in Mines and Surrounding Community”.
The institute has also initiated a large scale S&T
Project titled “Multi Centric Study of dust
Related Diseases in Stone Mines and
Development of Sustainable Preventive
Programme”. Multicentric study project aims
health status evaluation of workers in stone mines
in India and will focus on the working environment
& related health problems and devise strategies in

prevention and control of Silicosis. The study will
be carried out in collaboration with DGMS and is
jointly funded by Ministry of Mines and Ministry of
Labour and Employment. This will be the largest
ever study to be conducted in stone mines on pan
India basis.
During the year under review, the Institute has
been able to enhance its brand image in industry
for providing quality technical support services
which has resulted in more than 37% increase in
internal revenue generation. Scientists of NIMH
visited 47 mines and two processing plants all
over the country for conducting research projects
and clientele projects as well.
Keeping in view the future developments and
requirement of the institute, grant-in-aid of Rs.
2.25 crores has been sanctioned by the Ministry
for equipment purchase and infrastructural
modifications over a period of 4 years based on
Detailed Project Report (DPR) submitted by the
Institute. The Institute has taken initiative for
purchase of equipments and infrastructure
modification.
The institute has continued providing research
facilities for dissertation to post graduate students
in Biochemistry and Biotechnology as part of its
academic contribution. Based on the application
submitted by the Institute, a team from Gondwana
University visited the Institute for recognition as
Research Laboratory for the purpose of Doctoral
and Post Graduate studies in Biochemistry and
Biotechnology. To publicize its activities the
Institute is regularly updating its official website.
Various organizations and individuals have
contributed to recent success of the Institute. We
are extremely thankful to Ministry of Mines,
Government of India, for providing grant-in-aid to
the Institute. We are thankful to Dr Anup K Pujari,
Shri R H Khwaja and Shri Balvinder Kumar,
Secretaries to the Government of India, Ministry of
Mines and Chairmen of NIMH for their support and
time to time guidance by visiting the institute. We
express our gratitude to the members of General
Body, Governing Body, Research Advisory
Council and Institutional Ethics Committee for
their suggestions and encouragement. We are
also grateful to Shri R Sridharan, Additional
Secretary to the Government of India and Shri
Sudhaker Shukla, Economic Adviser and other
officials of the Ministry of Mines for their support.

Mining being considered one of the most
hazardous professions, health of miners has
always been centre of attention of the
administrators and producers of minerals. Mining
in India has been going since pre-historic times
and history of mining of Zinc and Copper can be
traced back to almost 6000 years as is evident
from the archeological findings in Zawar, Dariba,
Khetri, etc. Historians believe that large scale
mining for minerals in India started during the
reign of Mauryan dynasty. It was known for years
that mine workers had predilection for
development of lung diseases and needed
special care. Kautilya in his Arthashastra (as th
early as 4 century BC), while making the budget
of the state mentions that a separate allocation
for miners' health is required because miners
suffer from group of special diseases attributed to
their occupation and it is necessary to take care
of them.
In recent times, health of the miners became
focus of attention after mining of gold started in
India at Kolar Gold Fields in Karnataka.
Occurrence of Silicosis was first reported in India
by C Krishnaswami Rao in the year 1934 from
Kolar Gold Fields. The historic study on Silicosis
(1940 to 1946) by Dr. Anthony Caplan and others
consisting of 7643 workers of Kolar Gold Fields
detected 3472 workers suffering from Silicosis.
The study remains one of the most pioneering
work in the field of dust diseases and “Caplan
Syndrome” was first described during this study.
The study also formed basis for Mysore Silicosis
Rules and other legislations relating to detection
and compensation of occupational dust diseases
in India.
In the year 1949, Dr. H. H. Watson, an expert in
the f ie ld o f dus t inves t iga t ion f rom
Pneumoconiosis Research Unit of Medical
Research Council, Cardiff U.K., was invited to visit
Kolar Gold Fields to investigate dust concentration
in the underground mines and suggest methods of
dust sampling and dust control. Since then the
Kolar Gold Fields has maintained records of
comprehensive dust surveys till its closure.
First time in 1978, PIACT Mission of ILO
recommended that experience and expertise
developed at Kolar Gold Fields over the years
could be of great help in improving health of the
miners in India and could serve as a nucleus and
provide strong base for development of industry
based Institution extending country-wide services
in the mining sector.
In May 1987, Shri B K Rao, the then Secretary,
Ministry of Steel and Mines, Govt. of India, along
with Prof. M.G.K. Menon, the then Scientific
Advisor to the Prime Minister, visited the Kolar
Gold Fields and observed the work done on
occupational lung diseases arising out of gold
mining. This visit laid the foundation of the concept
of National Institute of Miners' Health. The
Secretary, Steel & Mines, Govt. of India, recorded
in his remarks: “The expertise that has been
developed by decades of continuous scientific
work should not be lost for the medical research in
this country by the planned phasing out of Kolar
Gold Mines. It could be achieved only by
integrating the main stream of research for
occupational diseases going on in this country and
hence the National Institute of occupational
diseases connected with mining industry could be
established, which could become a premier
institution dealing with research on occupational
diseases connected with mining industry”.

After several high level meeting at various
forums, and with rich heritage of work relating to
dust and other occupational diseases carried out
at Kolar Gold Fields, the Government of India
resolved for the formation of National Institute of
Miners' Health at Kolar Gold Fields.
The President of India approved the formation of thNational Institute of Miners' Health on 11 May
1989 and formally the Institute was registered
under Karnataka Societies Registration Act as an
“Autonomous Body” on 21st February 1990.
Since then NIMH is in the service of mining
industry and the nation and has carved a niche in
the field of miners' health. With inauguration of its
Central Laboratory at JNARDDC Campus,
Nagpur, the Institute shifted most of its functional
units to new campus though it maintains the
registered office and technical support service
unit at Kolar Gold Fields.
The main goals and objectives of the Institute
include;
Goals
lTo be an institution of national repute and
international recognition for research and
development on Miners' Health
lTo be a nationally competitive and
internationally reputed quality service
provider on Occupational Health & Hygiene
issues in mines.
Objectives
lTo conduct applied research and provide
solution to ensure health of miners and
sustainable extraction of country's mineral
wealth.
lTo provide quality technical support services
in Evaluation, Monitoring and Control of
Workplace hazards in Mines.
l To promote health and prevent occurrence of
occupational diseases among persons
employed in mines.
lTo assist enforcement agencies and mining
industry in compliance with national statues
and international standards.
The Institute is providing technical support
services in health surveillance, workplace
airborne dust monitoring, noise measurements,
vibration studies, ergonomics etc to the mines and
other industries to improve compliances with the
statutory provisions relating to Health surveillance
and work place monitoring. In view of the
increasing emphasis of Ministry of Mines on
Sustainable Development of Indian Mining
industry and implementation of Sustainable
Development Framework for Indian mining sector,
the Institute is proposing to develop expertise in
Health Impact Assessment and health issues of
mining community. The institute has submitted a
proposal to the Ministry of Mines for capacity
building in order to strengthen and modernize
infrastructure facilities and trained manpower.
This will help in development of NIMH as premier
institution for research and technical support
services in miners' health and health issues of
mining community. Through its collaborative
programme with state adminstratation, local
government bodies and NGOs, the institute has
taken initiative in detection of silicosis,
rehabilitation and relief programme for silicosis
victim in Karauli district of Rajasthan.

OCCUPATINAL HYGIENE - NAGPUR
1 Pro: 0110/14: Airborne Respirable Dust
Survey at Gagal Limestone Mine, ACC Ltd.
Airborne Respirable Dust Survey was carried
out at Gagal Limestone Mine, ACC Ltd. from
15.05.2014 to 17.05.2014. Twenty four samples
were collected (11 area samples and 13 personal
samples) of which 12 samples were analyzed for
free Silica (SiO ) content by FTIR. It was observed 2
that 8 hours TWA concentration of airborne
respirable dust at all the sampled locations in the
mine were within the prescribed limits in
accordance with Regulation 124 of Metalliferrous
Mines regulation 1961 except at the Crusher-Belt
Area near Railing no. 13. However, it is
recommended that ACC Ltd. take additional dust
control measures at places where, dust
concentration is above 50% of the permissible
limit (total two samples). Only two samples
reported free silica levels in detectable
concentrations. It is recommended that efforts in
controlling airborne respirable dust generation
along with regular monitoring should continue in
the mine.
2 Pro: 0106/14: Personal Noise Dozimetry,
Noise Mapping and Vibration Monitoring
Studies at BIOM, Kirandul Complex,
NMDC Ltd.
Personal Noise Dozimetry, Noise Mapping
and Vibration Monitoring Studies were carried out
at BIOM, Kirandul Complex, NMDC Ltd. from
16.06.2014 to 21.06.2014. Personal noise
monitoring over an entire working shift were
conducted on 42 employees. TWA(8) values
exceeded the Warning Limit of 85 dB(A) for the
operators of Drill IDM7, Grader no.9, Dozer K11
and the Dozer K10 in the Deposit 11C. Noise
levels were also exceeding the Warning Limit for
the Dumper no 24B Operator, Shovel HS 25
Operator in Deposit 14, Field Attendant at
Secondary Screen, MCO at Level 302 in the
Screening Plant 1, also for the Field Attendant at
Level 406 in Loading Plant. Since the noise levels
were just above the Warning Limit, measures such
as use of PPE, better isolation and sound proofing
to the cabins of these HEMM and Crusher could
prove sufficient to decrease their noise exposure.
However, the Personal TWA levels were observed
to be above the Danger Limit of 90 dB(A) for the
MCO at Level 305, Screening Plant 1 and the
MCO at Loading Plant. It was therefore essential
that technical modifications be carried out at these
locations such as construction of operator cabin or
better sound proofing of the cabin wherever
feasible.

Noise data were collected from three working
zones namely, Deposit 11C, Crushing Plant
(Deposit 14) and Screening Plant II. Noise
mapping studies in Deposit 11C showed that
majority of the working area has less than
75dB(A) noise level. The workshop area showed
more than 90dB(A) noise level and it fell to 85
dB(A) over a radius of approximately 100 meters
around the workshop. Noise sources in the
Crusher plant (Deposit 14) comprise of both area
and line noise sources. Inside the plant, noise
level exceeded 90 dB(A) in and around
secondary crushers. The noise level fell below 75
dB(A) at a distance of 52 meter towards mine
office. The screening plant as well as tertiary
crusher plant (TC Plant) has both line and area
noise sources. High noise levels were found
inside the screening plant (>90 dB(A)) the effect
of which faded gradually around the plant to be
about 82 dB(A). Combined with noise from
transfer points Conveyors 921 showed noisy
patch above 85 dB(A) and noise pockets having
sound pressure levels exceeding 90 dB(A).
WBV studies were carried out on 12 HEMM and
Drills as per ISO 2631-1:1997 guidelines. It was
observed that of the six Dumpers studied, the
health risk due to WBV exposure was moderate
for five dumpers and minimal for one. The dozer
and shovel at Deposit 11C exposed their operator
to moderate and minimal health risk respectively.
The drill and wheel loader studied at Deposit 14
exposed its operators to minimal and moderate
health risk respectively. The Operator at Vibrating
Screen, Level 706-D Line, Screening Plant 2 and
the Operator at Feeder Level 301, Screening
Plant 1 had minimal health risk to each of them.
Analysis of WBV exposure was done on the basis
of VDV where CF values exceeded 9. It was
observed that Operators at Vibrating Screen,
Level 706-D Line, Screening Plant 2 had minimal
health risk. Dumper no 23, Dumper no 37A,
Dumper no. 65, Dumper no 53A and Shovel no
ES24 had moderate health risk; and Dumper no
61 had high health risk.

Atlas Copco make Dumper was exposed to
moderate amount of health risk from WBV
exposure. Furthermore, One BEML make Dozer
and Two Sandvik make LHD studied were
exposed its operator to a high health risk via WBV
exposure. Wherever CF > 9, analysis of WBV linear
exposure was done on the basis of VDV as
well and it was found that one Sandvik
make drilling machine and one Sandvik
make dumper indicated moderate health
risk and one BEML make dozer showed
high health risk to their operators.
HAV was measured for two Drills
(Sandvik and Atlas make). The health risk
was observed to be rare through HAV
exposure for Sandvik make Drill operator.
Further it was observed that frequent
change of controls and levers in the Atlas
make Drill caused considerable increase
in vibration magnitudes thereby
increasing the health risk to the probable
category as per ISO Standards.

Gagal Limestone Mines of ACC Ltd.
Airborne Respirable Dust Survey, Noise
Monitoring, Vibration Studies and Illumination
Survey were carried out at Gagal Limestone
th thMines of ACC Ltd. from 09 to 13 Oct. 2014. A
total of 24 airborne respirable dust samples were
collected (12 area and 12 personal samples) of
which 12 were analyzed for free silica (SiO ) 2
content using FTIR. The TWA(8) concentrations
of airborne respirable dust at all sampled locations 3were within the permissible limit (i.e. 3 mg/m ) as
prescribed under Regulation 124 of Metalliferrous
Mines regulation 1961. Likewise, ten samples had
detectable free silica which were however in a very
low concentration (<0.01%).
Ten locations were selected for Area Noise
Monitoring studies. It was observed that noise
levels were within the DGMS recommended limits
at all locations sampled except near a villager's
house and near Loading Point where the L levels eq
were observed to exceed the Warning Limit value
of 85 dB(A). Also near Haul Road, the L levels eq
were observed to exceed the Danger Limit value
of 90 dB(A). Personal Noise Monitoring studies
over an entire working shift were conducted for 28
workers. Overall it was observed that the TWA(8)
was within limits for majority of the miners. Though

dB(A) for the operators of Dumper Sehdev,
Dumper Lakhan, BEML make Dozer no 2 and
Helper to Shovel PC 1250. Use of PPE by these
operators were recommended. Measures such
as providing better isolation and sound proofing of
the cabins of HEMMs would further help in
reducing noise exposure.
Noise level data was collected with the help of
Sound Level Meter Type 1 (Casella make) from
Crusher Plant Area and at Bench No. 21 around
the Drill Machine. It was observed that in Crusher
plants the noise level was above 85 dB(A) having
elliptical contour about a major axis measuring 37
m and minor axis measuring 31 m which is the
warning limit according to DGMS guidelines.
Higher noise level i.e above 85dB (A) was found
near and around the drilling machine at Bench
No. 21 having a contour with a major axis
measuring 38 m and minor axis measuring 32 m.
The noisy activity carried out in the location
studied by Noise Mapping seemed not to have
any influence on the nearby villages which is
situated about 500m away from the drilling
location.
WBV studies were carried out on 28 HEMMs and
Drills as per ISO 2631-1:1997 guidelines. It was
observed that the health risk due to WBV
exposure was high for three Dumper operators
(viz. Dumper Yudhistir, Dumper Lakhan and
Dumper no. 773B) but moderate for the remaining
six dumpers. All the Shovels posed moderate
health risk to its operators. The operators of Tyre
Handler, Fork Lift L/Car, operators at Downhill,
Reclaimer and one Striker evaluated for the
health risk showed minimal health risk while an
Ambulance, Bus operator, Explosive Van,
Maintenance Van, Crusher Cabin was estimated
to be moderate from WBV exposure. Dozer no 2,

Survey at Sadhera Limestone Mines,
Reliance Cement Company Pvt. Ltd.
Airborne Respirable Dust Survey was carried out
at Sadhera Limestone Mines of Reliance Cement th thCompany Pvt. Ltd. from 20 to 21 Oct. 2014. A
total of 23 airborne respirable dust samples were
collected (10 area samples and 13 personal
samples). Thirteen samples were analyzed for
free silica (SiO ) content using FTIR. It was 2
observed that 8 hours TWA concentration of
airborne respirable dust at all the sampled
locations in mine were within the prescribed
permissible limits. Equally, none of the samples
reported free silica levels in detectable
concentrations. The positive effort on part of the
mine management in controlling airborne
respirable dust generation in the mine was evident
from the study results.
7 Pro: 121/14: Airborne Respirable Dust
Survey, Noise Monitoring and Vibration
Studies at Panchpatmali Bauxite Mine,

Airborne Respirable Dust Survey, Noise
Monitoring and Vibration Studies were carried out that Panchpatmali Bauxite Mine, NALCO from 29
stOct. to 1 Nov.2014. A total of 42 airborne
respirable dust samples were collected (19 area
and 23 personal samples). Out of which 11 were
analyzed for free silica (SiO ) content with FTIR. It 2
was observed that the TWA(8) concentrations of
airborne respirable dust at all sampled locations in
the mine were within the permissible limit (i.e. 3 3mg/m ). Likewise, only three samples had
detectable free silica which were however in a
very low concentration (<0.01%).
Thirteen locations were selected for Area Noise
Monitoring studies. It was observed that noise
levels were within the DGMS recommended limits
at all locations sampled except at the BTC-Drive
House area where they were found to exceed the
Warning Limit of 85 dB(A) as prescribed by
DGMS.
Personal Noise Monitoring studies over an entire
working shift were conducted for 22 workers.
Overall it was observed that TWA (8hrs) was
within limits for majority of the miners. However it
was found to exceed the Warning Limit of 85 dB(A)

for the operators of Ripper Dozer No 12 and
Dumper No. 54 (50T). The personal noise
exposure of Ripper Dozer no. 8 Operator was
observed to be 92.0 dB(A), which is above the
Danger Limit of 90 dB(A). Therefore it is essential
to use PPE by these HEMMs operators.
Measures such as providing better isolation and
sound proofing of the cabins should be initiated to
control the noise levels.
WBV studies were carried out on 18 HEMMs and
Drills as per ISO 2631-1:1997 guidelines. It is
observed that, of all the dumpers studied, one
dumper had minimal and rest six dumpers, had
moderate health risk from WBV exposure. Of the

at all sampled locations were within the 3
permissible limit (i.e. 3 mg/m ). However it is
recommended that ACL take additional dust
control measures near the Crusher area where
dust concentration is above 50% of the
permissible limit. None of the samples had
reported detectable free silica concentrations.
Five locations were selected for Area Noise
Monitoring studies. Noise levels were within the
DGMS recommended limits at all locations
sampled except at the Crusher where they were
observed to be in the periphery of the Danger
Limit. Personal Noise Monitoring studies over an
entire working shift were conducted for 10
workers. Overall it was observed that the TWA(8)
was within limits for majority of the miners.
Though it was found to exceed the Warning Limit
of 85 dB(A) for the Shovel PC-9 Operator.
For the purpose of Noise Mapping, the study was
conducted during two phases : a) at Level 1400
when Shovel and Rock Breaker were working
simultaneously and b) during working of Rock
Cutter at Level 1440 when Shovel and Rock
Breaker were also in simultaneous operation at
Level 1400. It may be concluded from the noise
maps that the noisy activity in the
mines in the prevailing scenario
may not have any serious impact
on the nearby residential
complexes.
Whole Body Vibration studies
were carried out on 05 HEMMs
and Drills as per ISO 2631-
1:1997 guidelines. It was
observed that the health risk due
to WBV exposure was minimal
for Drill operator. Operators of
two Dumper, Rock Breaker and
Shovel studied were exposed to
moderate risk vide WBV exposure. On the basis
of VDV (CF >9) analysis, it was observed that linear
operators of Drill no ROC 3 and Dumper no 8 had
minimal and Rock Breaker PC 12 had moderate
health risk through WBV exposure.
Illumination studies were carried out at 20
locations in the mine. Overall it was observed that
the illumination levels at the ramp at 1230 Level
that connects to 1240 Level, Haul Road from
1400 Level to 1390 Level, Haul Road from 1390
Level to 1400 Level, cabin of Dumper HD 01 and

were analyzed for free silica (SiO ) content by 2
FTIR. The Time Weighted Average (TWA)
concentrations of airborne respirable dust were 3within the permissible limit (i.e. 3 mg/m ) as
prescribed under Regulation 124 of Metalliferrous
Mines regulation 1961. Likewise, nine samples
had detectable free silica which were however in
a very low concentration
Eight locations were selected for Area Noise
Monitoring studies. It was observed that noise
levels were within the DGMS recommended limits
at three sampled locations. However area noise
levels (L ) near Crusher Hopper was observed to eq
exceed the Danger Limit value of 90 dB(A)
prescribed by DGMS. Likewise, near Shovel
no.6, EX600, Atlas Copco make Drill D60 and
Rock Breaker the L levels were found to exceed eq
the Warning Limit value of 85 dB(A). Personal
Noise Monitoring studies over an entire working
shift were conducted for 11 workers. Overall it
was observed that the TWA(8) was within limits
for majority of the miners. However measured
values were very close to the Warning Limit of 85
dB(A) for the operators of BEML make Dozer
No.2, Rock Breaker and Water Tanker. Use of
Personal Protective Equipments (PPE) by these
operators was recommended as a precautionary
measure. Measures such as providing better
isolation and sound proofing of the cabins of
HEMMs could further help in reducing noise
exposure.
Whole Body Vibration (WBV) studies were carried
out on 13 Heavy Earth Moving Machines
(HEMMs) and Drills as per ISO 2631-1:1997
standard. It was observed that the health risk due
to WBV exposure was minimal for all the five
Dumper operators. However all the Shovels
posed moderate health risk to their operators
whereas two Drill operators were observed to
have minimal health risk through WBV exposure.
The health risk to the operators of the Dozer no 2
BEML make, Rock Breaker and Water Tanker of
TATA make was estimated to be moderate from
WBV exposure. Wherever the Linear Crest Factor
value exceeded nine, analysis of exposure risk
was done on the basis of vibration dose value
(VDV) as well and it was observed that Operator
of Drill Atlas Copco D60 make had minimal health
risk; Dozer No.2 BEML make 50 T and Rock
Breaker make had moderate health risk; and
Dumper No. 13 BEML make 50T, Shovel No. 5
L&T make, Shovel No. TH 6 had high health risk to
their operators. Considering the health risks
associated with them, it was recommended that
the seats of these HEMMs may be modified with
seats having pneumatic suspensions. Job
rotation was also suggested. To further reduce the
WBV, haul roads should be maintained and high
speed and rash driving must be avoided.

1 A Pilot study on health status of mine
workers and nearby population around
iron ore mines. (Sponsored by Ministry of
Mines, Govt. of India)
India is one of the largest producer and exporter
of iron ore, however there are very few studies
undertaken to determine prevalence of iron ore
dust exposure related health problems. West
Singhbhum district of Jharkhand is a major iron
ore producing area in the country. Newspaper
reports from some agencies indicated that there
was high prevalence of health disorders among
workers employed in iron ore mines and among
population residing in nearby area of West
Singhbhum district in Jharkhand state. Also, there
were complaints from NGOs, especially
pertaining to children suffering from various
diseases in iron ore mining area. In view of the
above, National Institute of Miners' Health
undertook S&T project 'A pilot study on health
status evaluation of mine workers and nearby
population around iron ore mines' sponsored by
Ministry of Mines to study general health status of
workers, school children and general population.
The study was conducted in the twin township of
Meghatiburu and Kiriburu iron ore mining area of
West Singhbhum district. The main objective of
the study was to determine health status of
workers involved in the mining activities and the
population residing in the vicinity of the mines
including school children and determination of
airborne dust levels and quality of potable water.
Medical Study - Under the project health status
of 102 Mine workers, 138 persons from general
population and 126 school children from
Meghatiburu & Kiriburu mining area of West
Singhbhum District of Jharkhand was evaluated.
The health evaluation included general physical
examination, chest x-ray, spirometry, audiometry,
vision screening, complete hematological
analysis, various biochemical parameters, renal
function tests, liver function tests, etc.
The results of study showed chest radiographs of
3.4% employees had evidence of pneumo-
coniosis and suspected pneumoconiosis each.
Spirometry results showed 3.3% employees
having restrictive impairments. Audiometry results
showed 23.9% of workers had evidence of noise
induced hearing loss (NIHL). It was also observed
that as the years of service increased there was
statistically significant increase in NIHL cases.
Further, 63.3 % workers had anemia, 16%
workers had raised blood sugar levels indicative of
diabetes. Among general population 24.2% were
undernourished, 86.2 % were suffering from
anemia of which more than 50% were suffering
from moderate to severe anemia with female
predominance. 15% had age related bilateral
hearing loss. The findings among school children
revealed that about 54.7% were undernourished
and 92.8% had anemia with more than 70% girls
suffering from moderate to severe anemia.
Environmental Study –
Dust Survey : The purpose of conducting
respirable dust survey was to determine level of
respirable dust in mines and nearby study area.
The findings of the study suggest that both
personal and area respirable dust survey the Time
Weighted Average (TWA) concentration for eight
hours exposure for all samples were within the 3 permissible limit of 3 mg/m as prescribed under
Metalliferrous Mine Regulation, 1961. 34 dust
samples collected from various locations were
also analyzed by XRF for composition. The result

showed the percentage concentration of SiO 2
ranged from 0.34% to 48.51%, for Cr O it was 2 3
0.01% to 0.08%, for MnO it was 0.02% to 0.19%,
whereas the Fe O concentration ranged from 2 3
1.30% to 88.78%.
Water Analysis: The samples from various
natural drinking water sources like streams,
ponds etc. and sources like municipal supply,
tube wells, hand pumps, wells, etc. were analyzed
for contamination and potability. The physical and
chemical analysis of water sources revealed
higher contamination of potable water in the
artificial sources than in the natural sources. The
tube well water samples collected from different
villages located in the buffer zone of this area
were not suitable for human consumption. 58
samples had raised levels of Lead out of 73 water
samples.
The study was a pilot study for determination of
health status in iron ore mining and nearby areas
and included small number of study subjects and
hence the f indings may not be truly
representative. Therefore, it was recommended
to conduct a large scale epidemiological study for
determination of the health status in the area
affected by iron ore mining.
ONGOING PROJECTS
1 Multi Centric Study of dust Related
D iseases in S tone Mines and
Development of Sustainable Preventive
Programme (Sponsored by Ministry of
Mines, Govt. of India)
Stone quarrying and crushing are carried out in
many parts of India and most of them are in
unorganized and small-scale mining sector
providing employment in mostly rural areas
adjacent to the cities in order to meet the demand
of growing infrastructure sector. The known major
pockets for stone mining in India are Bundelkhand
in MP & UP, Jodhpur, Karauli, Bharatpur area in
Rajasthan, Sohna-Faridabad area in Haryana,
Pakur in Jharkhand, Rampurhat in West Bengal,
Panchgaon area near Nagpur and Kolar in
Karnataka and adjacent Districts in Tamilnadu.
The study will be carried out in major stone mining
belts on a Pan India level. It has been well
documented by various studies in many countries
including India that the workers employed in stone
mines and crushers are exposed to high levels to
dust especially silica laden causing silicosis and
other dust related diseases.
A proper evaluation of the problem in our country is
yet to be done, though few studies are available.
The issue has been raised in the State Assembly,
the Parliament, NHRC, NGOs and Press. The
government is also committed for elimination of
silicosis by 2030 in line with ILO / WHO Global
Programme on Elimination of Silicosis.
This health status evaluation study of workers in
stone mines in India will focus on the working
environment and related health problems and
devise strategies in prevention and control of
Silicosis. The study will be carried out in
collaboration with DGMS and is jointly funded by
Ministry of Mines and Ministry of Labour and
Employment.
Objectives -
1. To determine the dust exposure profile and
Prevalence of Silicosis in Stone mine workers.

2 Development of Standard Framework and
Guidelines for Noise Mapping in Mines and
Surrounding Community (Sponsored by
Ministry of Mines, Govt. of India)
Noise is the most prevalent and recurring
environmental stress in the mining areas other
than dust. An increase in mechanization results in
an increase in noise levels, leading underground
and open pit mines and mineral processing plants
to generate enormous levels of noise. Besides the
mining core zone the other areas surrounding the
mines is also affected.
From the occupational health point of view, noise
exposure leads to multiple adverse effects on
physical and mental health of the mining
community e.g. tinnitus, noise induced hearing
loss (NIHL), reduced performance, sleeping
difficulties, annoyance, stress etc.
In an opencast and underground mines and
surrounding areas noise pollution is considered a
serious health hazard to workers and mining
community. The problem is increasing day by day
as mines becomes larger and more mechanised,
deploying bigger and more powerful machineries
but yet the necessary control measures are rarely
implemented. Due to continuous changes in
mines pattern it is very difficult for assessment of
noise level in mines. By preparation of noise map
can solve these problems. Noise mapping shows
not only the detailed assessment of the noise level
but also the predict increased noise levels due to
planned expansion or continuous change in mine
workings by considering various acoustic
phenomena and help out to identify the areas
where the noise levels exceed the legal limits. Noise Mapping Lab

Objectives –
lIdentification and validation of noise
prediction model for mines and buffer zone.
lTo develop standard framework and
guidelines for noise mapping in mines and
mining complexes.
lTo develop strategic for environmental
noise management using noise mapping
technology.
Noise Mapping of following Mines has been
carried out:
i) Bhatapara Mines (ACL) - Noise data of crusher plant area have been recorded and noise map has been prepared using Kriging Method on ArcMap 10.2 (GIS based map)
ii) Kirandul Complex, NMDC– Noise data with the help of advanced Sound Level Meters were collected from Screening Plant, Crusher Plant and other noise prone areas so as to represent the noisy situation in the mine. Three different noise maps (Screening Plant, Crusher plant and the entire mine) were generated with the help of Predictor Lima.
iii) Gagal Limestone Mine (ACC Ltd.) – Noise
maps of crusher area was prepared by
calculating the noise level with Acoustic
determinator and Predictor LimA software
(Calculation Method – ISO 9613 1/3 octave).
iv) Kashlog Limestone Mines (ACL, Himachal Pradesh) - Noise data (Sound pressure levels) were collected from mining benches around shovel and rock breaker during working phase and from rock cutter when it was in operation with the help of type 1 Sound Level Meter and accordingly noise maps were produced using ISO standards (Calculation Method – ISO 9613 1/3 octave).
Comparison between various methods and
available standards are in progress.
3 Evaluation of Biomarkers for early
detection of Noise Induced Hearing Loss
(NIHL) in the Mine Workers. (Sponsored
by Ministry of Mines, Govt. of India)
Excessive occupational exposure to noise causes Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) in workers. Also, Noise exposure causes structural and functional disabilities in the cochlear proteins. Specific proteins are known to be associated with hearing loss and related dysfunction in the human cochlea. The study was conducted in aluminium industry located in central India. In this study, blood samples from 210 subjects were collected. Subjects were divided into four study groups as healthy controls (n=50), subjects exposed to same environment but not exposed to noise (EC) (n=50), subjects exposed to high level of noise at work without evidence of NIHL (EC) (n=50), and subjects having Noise Induced Hearing loss (by audiometry) (n=60). The hearing ability of the subjects was accessed by pure tone audiometry and biochemical parameters were also evaluated.
Effects of excessive noise exposure in serum of noise exposed subjects was evaluated by expression or loss of proteins responsible for hearing loss using SDS-PAGE (Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate- Poly Acrylamide Gel Electrophoresis)

analysis. The aim of the proposed study is to identify protein biomarkers associated with the occurrence of NIHL in serum samples of mine workers which will be performed by using proteomic approach.
Descriptive statistics of baseline characteristics of subjects in four study groups were analyzed. However, considering that age, BMI, and the behavioural habits i.e. smoking, tobacco and alcohol consumption have possible effects on NIHL. The relationship between RH antigen and NIHL was investigated. In this study, emphasis was given on accurate estimation using protein molecules Whirlin, Prestin, Alpha tectorine, Myosin Ib, Cadherin -23 and Connexin- 26. Multiplex ELISA was developed to detect above mentioned proteins/ antigens in sera by using six NIHL antibodies at a time for the early diagnosis of NIHL.
A positive correlation was observed in levels of cholesterol and triglycerides with NIHL cases. The elevated levels of Cochlin Prestin and Whirlin antibody titers in noise exposed workers as compared to control will be the target result of this study. The developed Multiplex ELISA protocol by using panel of promising biomarkers is rapid, easy to perform and cost effective which will be used for early diagnosis of NIHL. The identified and differentially expressed protein will be used for early detection of NIHL.
NEW PROJECTS :
1. Possible implications of bio-available
iron in coal mines dust on coal workers'
lung disease. (Project in collaboration
wi th Pr iyadarshani Inst i tute of
Engineering and Technology (PIET),
Central India Institute of Medical
Research (CIIMS) and Western Coal
Fields Ltd. (WCL) submitted to Central
Mine Planning and Design Institute
(CMPDI), Govt. of India
Coal dust, human health and safety of the environment have been of global concern. Coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) is the major occupational respiratory disease of coal miners caused due to exposure to respirable dust generated during various mining operations. The different states of India, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra having coal mining zones contribute to the economic development of the country and undoubtedly brings wealth and employment opportunity. Simultaneously that leads to extensive environmental degradation, which, in turn, has an adverse and hazardous impact on the health condition of the coal mine workers as well as the people residing in the vicinity of coal mine. Iron is one of the best transition metals capable of producing free radicals which are responsible for induction of toxicity. Macrophages damage by mineral dusts play an important role in the pathogenesis of pneumoconiosis. This is one of the best reasons for giving attention to the investigation of macrophages under in vitro conditions. In this proposed project, investigators will collect the coal samples from different mining regions of the various states of India. Coal samples will be characterized for metal, bio-available iron and size of dust particles which are responsible for lung disease. Confirm size of coal dust will treat to rat's alveolar macrophage culture and incubate for specific time periods. After completions of incubation, the study will attempt to analyze (a) Fe ions in the exposed cells (b) oxidative stress parameters and cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, TNF- á, and IFN-ã) level (c) cytotoxicity by LDH release and MTT methods and (d) Genotoxicity by DNA ladder and TUNNEL assay (e) cell signaling pathway in vitro and in vivo exposure of coal dust.
Present study could predict the both iron species
and free radicals that may be responsible for
initiating the process of oxidative damage which
may contribute to cell injury in vitro and in vivo, and
possible implication in coal miners' lung disease.
