With increasing urbanization and industrialization, human beings are introducing new and complex chemicals without any rigorous bioassessment of their toxicity. Pune, which is situated at 18°31' N and 73°51' E, is the city with three rivers (Mula, Mutha, and Pavana) flowing through heart of the city. Nineteen sampling stations were selected downstream of non-polluted sites on all the three rivers. The river water samples were collected for a period of four months in the summer season from first week of February 2006 to end of May 2006, as the problem of water pollution is grave during summer season due to various factors like low water flow in the river and evaporation.

Abstract


With increasing urbanization and industrialization, human beings are introducing new and complex chemicals without any rigorous bioassessment of their toxicity. Pune, which is situated at 18°31' N and 73°51' E, is the city with three rivers (Mula, Mutha, and Pavana) flowing through heart of the city. Nineteen sampling stations were selected downstream of non-polluted sites on all the three rivers. The river water samples were collected for a period of four months in the summer season from first week of February 2006 to end of May 2006, as the problem of water pollution is grave during summer season due to various factors like low water flow in the river and evaporation.
