Lead is a toxic metal whose widespread use has created major environmental contamination and health problems in many parts of the world. Human exposure to lead is estimated to account for 143000 deaths every year and 0.6% of the global burden of disease. Lead is a cumulative toxicant that affects multiple body systems, including the neurological, hematological, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and renal systems. The finding of lead pollution can be difficult when there is no clear history of exposure, because lead affected individuals can be asymptomatic, and signs and symptoms, when they are present, are relatively nonspecific. Laboratory investigations are the only reliable way to diagnose lead – exposed individuals and therefore play an essential role in the identification and management of lead pollution and in the assessment of occupational and environmental lead exposure. Today, laboratories primarily assess lead exposure with whole blood lead measurements. Although a number of other human tissues and fluids, such as hair, teeth, bone and urine, also reflect lead exposure, the concentration of lead in whole blood has gained wide acceptance as the most useful tool for screening and diagnostic testing. Depending on the exposure levels, lead is said to have both mild and adverse effects on the nervous system, peripheral nervous system, growth and development, cognitive development, behavior, hearing, sight, movement and muscular activities, digestive system, excretory system, blood and circulation. In severe lead level, it can also lead to death. In this article blood lead level and health effects has been discussed.Keywords

Educational Institutions are often under pressure for cost cutting. Electricity charges, especially in a residential institution, is one of the biggest drain on finances. In this case study, we would like to discuss the grid connected roof top solar project in Army Institute of Technology (AIT), Dighi, Pune. This 350 kW system has been installed without any cost to AIT, on Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model, for 25 years at the rate of Rs 6/- per electricity unit. The power generated by the system is approximately 1000 to 1200 electricity units per day as against a requirement of about 1800 to 2000 electricity units per day. Net Metering Policy implemented by Maharashtra Government enables AIT to send excess electricity generated during day time back to the grid. This excess power given to the grid is credited back during night time. A new Net Meter has been installed in AIT that provides daily status of the power import/export. This has resulted in Cost Savings of nearly Rs 1,50,000/- per month which comes close to Rs 18,00,000/- per annum.Keywords
