Abstract

Textile effluents & Mat effluents samples were collected from Karur and vadugappatti near Musiri respectively. Both the industries were characterized for their pollution potential. In the present study, we have analyzed physical parameters such as Color Odour, Turbidity, Temperature and Chemical parameters such as pH, Total Dissolved Solids, Biological oxygen demand, Chemical oxygen demand, Electric conductivity, Carbonate, Bicarbonate, Calcium, magnesium, Chloride, Potassium, Sodium, Phosphate, Nitrite, Nitrate, Zinc, Iron, Copper in the collected effluents. All the physical and chemical parameters showed high level to the IS Tolerance limit standards for effluents discharge. Both the industrial effluents are threat to the environment. Hence, we suggest that the suitable treatment is needed for the effluents before discharging in water ways.
