Seasonable Variation on Trace Metals Statistical Values of Groundwater in and Around Tannery Areas of Vellore District

Abstract

This paper investigates the determination of seasonable variation of trace metals named Copper, Zinc, Iron, Cadmium, Chromium and Lead set down in the groundwater in and around area of tannery areas of Vellore district. The tanneries discharge untreated tannery effluents, which get mixed with the soil, water of the Palar River, and underground in this area. The determination of metals was performed for the groundwater samples which are collected from adjacent to tannery localities, which bears untreated tannery effluents at pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons. The metals might be deposited into the plants and vegetables grown on that agricultural soil, which disturb human health. Somewhat risky amount of trace metals were found in some groundwater samples, especially in the case of in pre-monsoon. All these trace metals were analysed by the Atomic adsorption spectroscopy technique (AAS). These metals contamination in the groundwater is answerable for the support of harmfulness in farming crops and underground water.

Study of Seasonal, Spatial Deviation and Pollution Indices of Ground Water by Tannery Activities in Vaniyambadi, Vellore district, Tamilnadu, India

“…Ground water quality for the most part relies upon the land development of basic strata, the aquifers measure and the examining position. The sewage liquid and solid wastes hold significant amounts of chromium and added substantial harmful metals, natural issue, lime and sulfide 11,23 . Other than the labourers, agriculturists, youngsters and angler are predominantly influenced by contaminated water.…”
