DISTRIBUTION OF HEAVY METALS (CU, NI, PB AND ZN) IN THENGAITHITTU ESTUARY, PUDUCHERRY, SOUTHEAST COAST OF INDIA
The sand content (%) in sediment varied from 24.08±6.2 to 82.31±0.63, silt from 14.88±0.44 to 39.97±4.88 and clay content from 2.18±0.2 to 29.46±3.37. The total organic content (mg/g) (TOC) varied from 0.55±0.08 to 7.92±0.54. TOC was found negatively correlated with sand (P<0.05) and positively correlated with clay (P<0.05.). Among the heavy metals, copper (ppm) varied between 12.16±0.05 ...

CYANIDE POISONING IN SIPCOT INDUSTRIAL EFFLUENTS AND THEIR IMPACTS ON ESTUARINE FIN FISHES
Each water body has an individual pattern of physical and chemical characteristics. Industrial effluents are the major pollutants of the marine environment. The present study focuses attention on the physico-chemical parameters of the effluents from SIPCOT industrial complex, Cuddalore. Temperature, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO), nutrients (inorganic phosphate, reactive silicate, nitrite, ni...
