Assessment of Commercial Effluents in Reference of Some Selected Parameter of Siltara Industrial Area, Raipur

Analytical studies of some selected physicochemical parameter were made on the surface and underground water bodies at Siltara industrial area, Raipur. Siltara industrial area is situated 5 km away from the Raipur city, Chhattisgarh. Both surface and underground water samples were collected in the month of October'2010. Temperature, P^H, E.C, Salinity, TDS, D.O etc. were analyzed instantly on the sampling spots while T.S, TSS, TH, Alkalinity, D.O, BOD, COD, Cl⁻, SO₄²⁻, NO₃⁻, Fe etc. were analyzed in the laboratory of pollution Control Board, Bilaspur, C.G. It was observed that Temperature, P^H, Alkalinity, TH, DO, BOD, Cl⁻, SO₄²⁻, NO₃⁻ and Fe have higher value than maximum permissible limit of IS: 10500. The elevated values of these parameters are of great concern to public health when the water from these well, bore well and hand pump are consumed by people without treatment. Commercial effluents polluted both surface and underground water bodies.
