Soranam 5 > Research Paper 2016 6 1 2016 07 22 In this present investigation deals with the physio-chemical and heavy metals analysis from the selected study areas of river Tamiraparani, Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, India. The water samples were collected from the Thalaianai and Cheranmadevi sites during the pre-monsoon, post-monsoon and summer. The parameters were performed with the standard methods of APHA, 2005. Water samples elements were determined by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The parameters analyzed were Air temperature, Water temperature, pH, Electrical conductivity, Hardness, Alkalinity, Dissolved oxygen, Chemical oxygen demand and Biological oxygen demand. The heavy metals were found at Cheranmadevi site only but not in Thalaianai site. Most of the pollution accrued in the Cheranmadevi river due to modern wastage and anthropogenic impacts. Hence, these selected river sites polluting and aggregate outcomes are a danger to the whole environment. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
