Seven of the measured parameters exceeded the limit set by the Federal Ministry of Environment. Colour intensity exceeded it in all the samples (Mills 1 – 5) by about 350 folds on the average while COD, TSS, NH3, BOD5, and S2- were by 24, 13, 8, 7 and 3 folds respectively. TDS was detected in all samples with limit exceeded only in Mill 2. Nitrate, oil and grease were detected in Mills 1 and 2 and within the limit. Al, Mn, and Zn were detected in 80% and within the limit while Fe was detected in 60 %. Cu was detected in 80 % with limit exceeded about 3 folds on the average. The present study is focused on the pollution implications of these effluents from textile operations in the city; important because of the risk of human exposure to them.</p></abstract><publication_date><month>04</month><day>29</day><year>2013</year></publication_date><pages><first_page>212</first_page><last_page>221</last_page></pages><publisher_item><identifier id_type="pii">284</identifier></publisher_item><doi_data><doi>10.30955/gnj.000284</doi><timestamp>1714191450</timestamp><resource>https://journal.gnest.org/publication/284</resource></doi_data></journal_article></journal></body></doi_batch> </div>
