The Role Pollution in Coastal Area to Effects on Quality of essential trace elements (Copper, Zinc, Selenium) and pH Levels of Ground Water of Nellore District, Andhra Pradesh, India
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
The Groundwater quality in the coastal of Nellore district, Andhra Pradesh, India, has been studied from August 2013 to December 2013 because the industrialization of the city has resulted in environmental pollution. The quality of groundwater from the soil-weathered zone and from the zones affected by industrial activities, urban activities and seawater activities has been assessed in terms of pollution. The increase in the concentrations of essential trace elements copper, zinc and Selenium and increased levels of pH in the groundwater were observed. The study infers that the industrial activity is more responsible for groundwater pollution, causing health problems. Measures on a groundwater-quality monitoring program are suggested for the sustainable development of the urban area.
