STUDY OF PHYSICO - CHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF WASTE WATER FROM DYEING UNITS IN AHMEDABAD CITY

Abstract

The present study was undertaken on the physico - chemical parameters of wastewater from different dyeing units in Agra city, India. Standard procedures were adopted to calculate the physical properties and trace elements in water samples. Wastewater was analyzed for various water qualities like pH, TDS, Alkalinity, Hardness, COD, Sulphate, Na+, K+ etc. The results arrived were compared with Indian Standards for drinking water to check out their pollution level. Elements and their impact to health of humans are discussed. The results from the analysis of dyeing wastewater show that most of the parameters were much higher than the MPL and the presence of toxic heavy metals as Pb, Cr, Cd, and Zn in the water samples. Hence the flow of this dyeing wastewater into the river causes the serious pollution problems. A perspective of environmental pollution associated with various dyeing units and its remedies are described.
