Monitoring of Heavy Metal in Textile Waste Water of Sanganer, Jaipur (Rajasthan)

The textile industry represents a range of industries with operations and processes as diverse as its products. Textile industry effluents account for several point sources of water pollution thus posing negative effects on aquatic lives and human health. The paper contains results of a study carried out in agricultural fields of Sanganer town. This paper contains results of physico-chemical analysis of waste water collected from Sanganer town. The town is situated about 20 kms away from the city center, Jaipur. In the study area (Amanishah Nalla Sanganer ,Jaipur ) vegetables are grown in the fields receiving sewerage and textile waste water. Random samples were collected during different periods of the year Amanishah nallah and analyzed for various physic-chemical parameters such as Ph, Electrical Conductvity, Total Solids, chloride, Total Hardness ,Ca Hardness, and heavy metals such as Cr, Cu, Pb, Zn, Fe, Ni and Cd.This waste water is used in several nearby located agricultural fields. Results revealed that pH of the waste water ranges between 7.45 to 9.43 and Electrical Conductivity between 0.97 to 1.25 umho/cm and total solids from 965.8 to 1562 mg/L .Calcium and Magnesium ranges between 54.76 to 123.24mg/L and 466.23 to 941.64mg/L respectively. The total Hardness ranges between 568 to 1138mg/L. Chloride and D.O. values ranges between 295 to 578.3 mg/L and 17.1 to 36.20 mg/L respectively. Heavy metals were also analysed. This waste water contains Pb 1.098,mg/L, Fe 0.191mg/L, Cu 4.66 mg/L, Cd 1.98 mg/L, Zn 3.29 mg/L, Ni 0.076 mg/L and Cr 3.96 mg/L.
