Pharmaceuticals and Agro-Chemicals in Groundwater of Hyderabad, India

Organic micropollutants continue to worsen groundwater pollution, especially in many areas of the world where water resources are becoming scarce. India uses more than any other nation. The main objective this study is evaluate quality Hyderabad, by comprehensively analyzing organic micropollutants. Samples were collected from borewells eight different sites (Begumpet, Bharatnagar, Dundigal, Jubilee Hills, Kukatpally, Sanath nagar, Tarnaka, and Tirumalagiri). non-targeted screening analysis was performed using liquid chromatographyquadrupole time-of-flight (LC-QTOF). About 250 compounds detected total all samples. This includes pharmaceuticals, herbicides, fungicides, pesticides, hormones, steroids, cosmetics, plasticizers, cyanotoxins, metabolites. In samples, pharmaceuticals accounted for approximately 50% compounds. nagar sample had been with 130 least number Taranaka, Kukatpally areas. Apramycin (veterinary drug) Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (plasticizer) found high abundance values observed 17αβ - Dihydroequilin, Avobenzone, Butachlor, Clarithromycin-N-oxide, Dibutyl phthalate, Doxepin, Estriol, Napropamide, Nefazodone. Estriol Dihydroequilin largest endocrine disruptors. presence various agrochemicals reveals pollution either directly or indirectly, discharge domestic industrial wastewater.
