CHAPTER-II AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING 2.0 Ambient air quality sampling stations: Ambient air quality monitoring stations have been classified in to residential and industrial based on their locations in different clusters of mines. The sampling stations are as described below: i. Bhanora colliery near Bhanora railway siding (8A1): The sampler was placed at Bhanora colliery to assess the ambient air quality in the core zone where mining activities are in progress. ii. Sripur GM Office (8A2): The sampler was placed at Sripur CGM office to the north east side of Ningah UG mine and Shivdanga UG mine. The station was selected to represent the impact of mining activities in the North-East side. iii. municipality office (8A3): The sampler was placed in the premises of the Jamuria SI Office. This station was selected to assess the ambient air quality of residential area. iv. Workshop (8A4): The sampler was placed near Ratibati workshop. It is also near coal siding and just side of a busy road. This site was selected to assess the present ambient air quality status in residential area of core zone. v. Ranisayer village (8A5): The air sampler was placed near Ranisayer village which is in the buffer zone of Satgram Copex. This site was selected to assess the present ambient air quality status in residential area. vi. North Searsole Colliery Office (8A6): The sampler was placed in North Searsole Colliery office. This site was selected to assess the present ambient air quality status in residential area of buffer zone of area. 2.1 Methodology of sampling and analysis: The air quality sampling stations have been chosen keeping in view predominant wind direction and have been classified as permanent, pre monsoon (April –

September) & post monsoon (October – March) air sampling stations. Particulate Matter (PM10), Fine

Particulate Matter (PM2.5), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) are monitored on fortnight basis. Heavy metals like Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Mercury (Hg), Nickel (Ni) and Lead (Pb) are monitored half yearly.

The Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter (RSPM) Sampler & PM2.5 Sampler machines are used for sampling of ambient air. The samples are collected and transported to Environmental Laboratory of CMPDI, RI-I, Asansol for analysis work.

2.2 Results & Interpretations: In industrial area PM10 varies from 254.6 to 453.9 µg/m3 & in residential

area from 91.6 to 540.1 µg/m3 in residential area PM2.5 varies from 49.3 to 68.1 µg/m3 & in residential area

from 29.0 to 195.0 µg/m3. In industrial area & in residential area SO2 below 10 µg/m3.In industrial area NOx varies from 16.5 to 18.6 µg/m3 & in residential area from 12.6 to 19.3 µg/m3.

CHAPTER – III WATER QUALITY MONITORING 3.1 Mine water sampling stations: i) Girmint /K D I UG (8MW1): This location has been selected to monitor the discharge quality of mine effluent to natural surface streams ii) Sripur Seam Incline UG (8MW2): This location has been selected to monitor the discharge quality of mine effluent to siltation pond. iii) Ningah UG (8MW3): This location has been selected to monitor the discharge quality of mine effluent which is being used for domestic purpose and discharged to natural surface streams. iv) Satgram UG (8MW4): This location has been selected to monitor the discharge quality of mine effluent to natural surface streams after sedimentation tank. 3.2 Methodology of sampling and analysis: The water samples are collected as per standard practice and transported to environment laboratory for analysis work. The mine water samples are collected and analysed for five parameters on fortnightly basis except during the month of March and September when mine water samples are analysed for 29 parameters. The ground water samples were collected and analysed for 26 parameters during the month of May. Drinking water samples are collected and analysed during the month of March and September. 3.3 Results &Interpretations: The results are given in tabular form along with the applicable standards. Results are compared with General Standards for Discharge of Effluent (Schedule VI) in case of effluent/mine water sample and compared with IS.10500: 2012 in case of drinking/ground water samples.
