description This  paper  deals  with   the  study   of  pollution   trend  in   Hindon  river   between  Meerut   and  Greater  Noida stretch along   with   change   in   their   population   density,   types   of   industries   and   l iving   standards.   It   was observed  that  heavy  metal  pollution  increases  when   we  move   from  Meerut  to  Mohan  Nagar  and  decreases when   we  further  move  towards  Greater  Noida.   Organic  pollution   and  BOD   level  increased  many  folds  then the  permissible   limits   in  Meerut   and  Greater   Noida.  Concentration   of  inorganic   ions   gradually   increases from Meerut to Greater  Noida.  Where  population  density  is  high,  organic  pollution  dominates  and  where industries are more, heavy metal  and  inorganic  ions  load  is  more.  With  increase  in  pollution  level,  risk  of exposure to diseases also increased so, we should emphasize on pollution treatment and control.
