ASSESSMENT OF HEAVY METAL POLLUTION IN WATER RESOURCES AND THEIR IMPACTS AT RENIGUNTA INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, CHITTOOR DISTRICT, ANDHRA PRADESH

C. Madhavi, Prof. T. Damodaram

Abstract :

Heavy metals in water are extremely essential to living organism but concentration beyond the limit recommended by various national and international organization may cause physiological disorders. Excess of these in water environment occurs, via a wide range of process and pathways, by natural and anthropogenic sources. Accumulation of these metals in living organism can be toxic and carcinogenic due to its non–biodegradable nature. For this purpose water, quality management and assessment in light of heavy metal is of prime importance. The overall water quality status and identification of source of origin of heavy metals are required for water quality management
