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.

We express our gratitude to mining companies

who are continuing to have partnership for

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.

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.

Studies and Illumination Survey at

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

it was found to exceed the Warning Limit of 85

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,

Diesel Tanker and Mazda were observed to have

high health risk to the operators. On the basis of

VDV( where CF>9), it was observed that Operator

at Crusher Cabin and Foreman at Downhill had

minimal health risk; Dumper Pushpak, Dumper

Dhara, Dumper Sehdev, Dumper Garuda, Tyre

Handler, Shovel no. PC 1250 Komatsu, Shovel

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.


Survey, Noise Monitoring and Vibration

Studies at Panchpatmali Bauxite Mine,

NALCO.


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



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

two drills studied, Drill no. 10 and Drill no. 12 were

found to be posing minimal health risk. Operators

of Ripper Dozer no 8 and Ripper Dozer no 12 had

moderate and high health risks respectively from

exposure to WBV. Two Loaders and one Poclain

exhibited moderate health risk to their respective

operators. On the basis of VDV (CF >9), it was linear

observed that Loader no. 22 had minimal and

Dozer no 19 and Wheel Dozer no 3

exhibited moderate health risks to their

Monitoring, Vibration Studies and

Illumination Survey were carried out at

Kashlog Limestone Mines of ACL, Suli from th th

12 to 15 Nov. 2014.

A total of 14 airborne respirable dust

samples were collected (04 area and 10

personal samples) of which 04 were analyzed for

free silica(SiO ) content by SAP with FTIR. TWA 2

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

Workshop were adequate and in accordance with

the DGMS guidelines. Besides, illumination

levels in the cabins of the Dumpers too were

adequate.

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



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.

COMPLETED PROJECTS

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


2014-15

28

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. To determine levels of airborne respirable dust

and other hazards.

3. To formulate a sustainable silicosis control

programme in stone mines.


2014-15

Expected outcome -

1. Development of infrastructure for health

surveillance of persons engaged in mine

2. The study will provide epidemiological data

on health status including prevalence of

silicosis and other dust related disorders

among persons employed in the stone

mining and processing industry.

3. A comprehensive report will be submitted to

the Ministry of Mines, Government of India on

working environment of workers and related

health problems and measures required to

be undertaken for reducing health risk to the

workers.

4. Development of guidelines for detection and

rehabilitation programme for cases of dust

related diseases.

5. Trained medical practioners in detection of

dust related diseases.

6. Formulation of long term strategies for

National programme on elimination of

silicosis in mines.

7. Seminars /workshops / conferences will be

organized for stakeholders to create

awareness about health hazards and

strategies for prevention and control of

silicosis in stone mining area.

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)

Study under S&T Project

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.
