Assessment of heavy metal concentrations in surface water sources in an industrial region of central India

摘要: Abstract Rapid industrialisation and resulting industrial solid waste from power plants integrated iron steel industries, have imposed an enormous environmental pressure on water resources of Chhattisgarh, a state in Central India. Rural population living nearby the study area is mainly depended available surface form lakes or pond their vicinity. Therefore it necessary to look after through leachate pollution caused by dumping disposal waste. In present study, ten samples each for pre monsoon post were collected analysis surrounding areas major region Chhattisgarh. The AAS shows higher concentration certain heavy metals above permissible limits. Mn Cr resulted at same time metals; Cu, Fe Pb lower concentrations. Similarly, samples, Mn, found with concentration, while Cu concentration. high amount analyzed that there real risk huge wastes produced needs proper disposal. Unscientific poorly-managed containing remediation before discharging into environment.
