Studies on ground water pollution in industrial areas of Chennai
Journal Title: Journal of Research in Biology - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
In the present study an attempt has been made to evaluate the physicochemical parameters of ground water samples collected from 10 selected locations of five different industrial areas of Chennai. Physico-chemical parameters such as DO, Salinity, Alkalinity, pH, Calcium, Magnesium, Hardness, Iron Nitrite, Phosphate, Silica and Chloride were estimated following the procedures of NEERI. Highest nitrate level of (0.15mg/L) was observed at Guindy Industrial Estate, whereas the lowest level (0.02mg/L) was noticed at Avadi Industrial area. Silica content was found to be highest (66.67mg/L) at Ambatthur Industrial Estate and the lowest level (12.29mg/L) was observed at Guindy Industrial Estate. Highest iron content (0.59mg/L) was recorded at Ambatthur Industrial Estate and the lowest level (0.13mg/L) was noticed at Pallavaram Industrial area. Chloride level was highest (861mg/L) at Ambatthur Industrial area and the lowest level (223mg/L) was noticed at Pallavaram Industrial area. The results are discussed in the light of available literature.
