اظهر المزيد [+] اقل [-]Consecutive drought has led to loss of biodiversity and acute water scarcity forcing already vulnerable communities to either migrate or work at hazardous occupations. The region is rich in granite reserves, and stone quarrying units employ a large number of unskilled and migrant rural workers. The research involves assessment of environmental quality, health risks, socioeconomic and political factors to ascertain differential contributions of multiple health determinants. Project results aim toward establishing an eco-health model that enhances social equity in settings that abound in similar environmental health hazards.
