“…Chemicals used in leather manufacturing are intended to chemically alter the structure of the animal hides and may have the same effect on the human skin. These chemicals are potential irritants and sensitizers in workers who are frequently exposed to these for prolonged periods of time [75,76]. Occupational skin diseases in the leather industry are rarely reported despite their potential high risk.…”

From the dawn of industrial revolution there has been a ceaseless development of technologies to support human comfort. These technologies besides leading to a better living, also causes hazardous effect to the society when not treated properly. One of the major developments in the industrial era is refining of leather. The heavy metals when released from these industries contaminate the surrounding. The study aims at getting more clear understanding about the contamination of the heavy metals in the water and soil samples which cause skin allergy risks for industry workers and habitants residing near the tannery zone .The research intents at reckoning the heavy metal contamination in 20 bore well water ,20 soil samples and 20 tannery workers (10 male and 10 Females) blood samples who were suffering from skin allergy taken from the zone in and around leather tanneries in Vellore district. The samples were tested by various methods to estimate approximate value of large number of heavy metals including Cu, Al, Zn, Cr, and Ni. Besides; various physical characteristics of the water were also tested. The comparison against the permissible standard was made and the results showed excessive deposition of toxic metals in the samples. Moreover, the blood samples of people around these areas where also tested for heavy metal contamination and surveyed number of people admitted in ESI hospital with skin allergy from year of 2014 to 2016 in the study area. These numbers showed a continuous hike when compared with the value evaluated in the earlier days.
