Abstract

The case study reveals the comprehensive physico-chemical parameters of the dispersed effluent from industries of the dollar city (Tirupur) Tamil Nadu by using biological method that represent heavy source of environmental pollution that entered the water reservoir. The physicochemical properties were analyzed, both physical and chemical parameters and treated with biological method. Physico-chemical parameters like pH, Color, Total dissolved solid (TDS), Electrical conductivity (EC), Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), Chemical oxygen demand (COD), Turbidity, Total Hardness, Chloride, Oil and grease had seen in effluent samples from different places were assessed. The effluent sample were triplicated and analyzed by above parameters separately. The results were correlated with the water quality standards as per EPA (Environmental Pollution Agency), BIS (Bureau of Indian Standard) and WHO (World Health Organization) norms. Sample from Vijayapuram contains high color (9.7±0.5), TDS (3672±2), total hardness (620±3) and BOD (218±3) values, according to the physicochemical analyzed. Sample Sidco has high chloride levels (995±3), total hardness (620±3) and BOD (218±3), while sample Alangadu has high EC (1983±2) and TSS (377±3) levels, while Rayapuram has high pH (8.5±0.1), COD (821±2) and Oil & grease level (67.4±2) as well as increases in BOD, COD, and pH fluctuation, are the causes of the effluents colour discharge observed respectively. The analyzed quantity of all samples exceeded the prescribed Standard limit. The textile effluent was one of the sources for the major pollutant that affect the water reservoir and the flora and fauna existing in the particular environment and affect the life cycle. The present study strongly recommends that the treatment for the textile effluent before the dispersion to the nearer water reservoirs.
