Trace Metals in Water - Health Effects and Analysis
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Chemistry and Environment (IJRCE) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Water is very essential part of all living organism. Due to various reasons water become polluted with heavy and toxic metals such as antimony, lead, arsenic, barium, fluoride, cadmium, chromium, copper, cyanide, cobalt, iron etc. In present review we have collectively giving information about the trace metals present in the polluted water and their health effects with methods of analysis. We tried to present detail causes of occurrence of these trace metals in water body and effects of these metals on living organism. It is need of society on priority to verify the amount of trace metals present in water before it is used for any purpose and compare with the standard guideline values prescribed by different national and international organizations like WHO, EPA, Indian standard etc. Some methods for determination of trace metals are also been incorporated in brief.
