The impact of Industrialization of Demak Laut industrial park on the river water quality

Increasing rapid industrialization has exerted immense pressures on water quality by introducing a large variety of chemicals into our environment. When effluents from industries are discharged into river channels, the river water is polluted physically, biologically and chemically. This study was c...

When effluents from industries are discharged into river channels, the river water is polluted physically, biologically and chemically. This study was conducted to analyze the river water quality for Temperature, pH, ~O, BOD, COD, TSS and NH3-N and to assess the extent of heavy metal pollution in the Oemak Laut Industrial Park river system) Water quality parameters such as pH. 00, Temperature, BO~, COD, TSS and NH3-N were monit6red to determine their status in relation to the health of the river ecosystem.
