Examination Of The Concentration Of Heavy Metals In Ground Water Near The Mahad Industrial Area In Maharashtra, India

Abstract

Because The Ground Water In The Industrial Area From Mahad M.I.D.C. Is Used For Drinking And Household Purposes, It Is Necessary To Undertake An Assessment Of Its Quality. The Area's Groundwater Is Under A Lot Of Stress, Which Is Being Caused By Heavy Industrialisation And Growing Urbanisation. Thus, The Current Study Evaluates The Groundwater Contamination Caused By Heavy Metals While Taking This Important Factor Into Account. At One-month Intervals Throughout The Year, Water Samples Were Taken From Wells Located Throughout The Industrial Area. The Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (Perkin Elmer Model No. Analyst 200) Was Used To Identify The Heavy Metals, Which Are Iron, Copper, Zinc, Manganese, Nickel, Chromium, Cobalt, And Lead. The Majority Of Groundwater Samples Have Heavy Metal Concentrations Below The Maximum Allowable Limit, According To A Comparison Of The Results With WHO (1993) And BIS (1991) Recommendations.
