Chemical Analysis of Surface Water of Raipur, Chhattisgarh to Evaluate The Consequences of Industrial Effluents

Abstract

According to current estimates, industrial effluent discharge has contaminated around one-third of INDIA’s water, solid waste, and other hazardous waste.The bulk of these defaulting industries are petrochemicals, sugar mills, distilleries, leather processing industries, paper mills, agrochemical and pesticide manufacturing sectors, and pharmaceutical businesses.For these industries, surface water is the major waste disposal method.Untreated or ostensibly treated effluents have raised the quantity of surface water pollution by up to 20 times the acceptable limit in 22 seriously polluted locations throughout the world. Almost all water bodies in INDIAwas found to be contaminated by industrial activity. Although the strict guidelines of the Central Pollution Control Board(CPCB) apply to all industries in India, the current state of the environment is far from ideal.
