Two most polluted sites of Kanpur
Jajmau:
Kanpur has a predominance of leather industry. Some 380 odd leather units are located in Jajmau area, right on the bank of river Ganga. These units, which use many toxic chemicals, are the single largest contributor to the pollution of the surface as well as groundwater of Jajmau area in Kanpur.

Highly toxic irrigation water (Sewage mixed with tannery effluent)
![Page 5: AN NGO FOR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION, PROTECTION AND SECURITY · Two most polluted sites of Kanpur Jajmau: Kanpur has a predominance of leather industry. Some 380 odd leather units](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020412/5aebc0127f8b9a90318d6e0a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
This wastewater is being used for irrigating 2500 hectares of farmland. This water is highly toxic and has been reported
to be laced with heavy metals like chromium, arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium and other
toxicants.

Huge piles of toxic tannery sludge lying in an unsafe way. The hazardous waste is being dumped indiscriminately along the only road leading to the
villages. This has resulted into pollution of the local environment and contamination of the groundwater.

Illegal glue factories add to the air pollution

Noraiakheda:
Noraiakheda is located in the industrial area of the city. The area assumes significance on account of location of chemical factories and its dense population, dominated by poor and landless people who are most vulnerable to health risks. Noraiakheda has been used for years as waste disposal site by the Basic Chrome Sulphate (BCS) manufacturing units, which supply BCS to chrome tanning units of leather industry. This has lead to contamination of groundwater of Noraiakheda with Chromium, which is a known carcinogen. The residents (approximately 10,000) of the area are forced to drink this contaminated water, which has been found to be highly unsafe in the absence of any alternative provision.
