Heavy metal toxicity in fish from coal mining areas refers to the elevated levels of harmful heavy metals found in fish due to contamination from mining activities. This study focuses on assessing the toxicity of heavy metals in fish from coal mining areas in Jharkhand, India. The investigation includes the analysis of heavy metals in water samples, sediment samples, and fish species. The highest concentration of heavy metal in water was found to be of Sr (170.5µg/L) and in sediments 182.5 µg/g Zn was found. In fish, highest concentration was of Fe (226.3mg/kg).
