Prevalence of multiple pollutants in selected Tamil Nadu coastal waters, Southern India
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacological Research - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
The sea water samples from five different coastal cities (Chennai S1, Cuddalore S2, Nagappattinam S3, Tuticorin S4 and Kanyakumari S5) in Tamil Nadu were collected during premonsoon 2015 for physiochemical, microbiological and trace metal studies. The high bacterial load in the study sites indicated that which received enormous waste materials from different sources like land materials, municipal discharges, agricultural and industrial discharges, and more visits. The higher pollution index (PI) ratio (>1) were observed in all sampling sites which indicated the human fecal matters were responsible for sea water pollution. The statistical approach (correlation) explained that the physiochemical and trace metal parameters are not supporting the microbial growth in large extend. Based on the report, this study was suggesting that throughout impoundment is needed to protect fresh water sources.
