Aims and Objectives
• Environmental Toxicology – cause and effect- analysis of
environmental contaminants (e.g. PAH’s, PCB’s,
pesticides, Heavy metals, dioxins/dibenzofurans etc.)
and their impact on eco-system (soil, water, air, flora and
fauna)
• Safety and Management- bio-remediation, site
reclamation, environmental monitoring and data
collection, waste water treatment, solid waste
management, E- waste management technologies

Department of Science and

• To study the dissipation
leaching and persistence of
chlorpyrifos in three types of
soils with different pH i.e.
acid, alkali and neutral
• As chlorpyrifos is being used
indiscriminately in India for
termite control in household
and in agricultural practices
for various crop protection
packages without testing soil
properties above parameters
are being studied taking soil
of different types from various
parts of India
Ministry of Earth
Sciences
Study of contamination of soil
and water through heavily
loaded unlined drains in Delhi
The project work is planned specially
Keeping in view the problem of
groundwater contamination in Indian
context through unlined drains which are
over loaded, with sewage waste from huge
urban population and also waste from
industries, lysimetric studies are
important to know the possible sources
and types of groundwater contamination
through leaching
