Abstract

Waste Water and nearby soil samples of recycled paper industry are collected from Northern districts of UP viz. Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar & Meerut and analyzed for various parameters like pH, TDS, TVS, TSS, TFS, TRC, TS, BOD, COD, Chloride, DO. The inferences were drawn on the basis of analysis. The very high absorbance in the region 200-300nm value suggests that these effluents are not fit to be disposed to the water stream as these effluents will result in increase of organic load in water streams. The present manuscript reports the investigation of the characteristics of effluents released from recycled paper mills of UP state to access the pollution load of recycling paper mills on the environment.
