Heavy toxic metals chemicals and industrial effluents have percolated into sub-soil and groundwater aquifers which have adversely affected human health. Over a period of time multiple agencies conducted studies and found that persistent release of toxic industrial effluents into the drain resulted in groundwater contamination and poor air quality around it..
