Abstract

In this paper, an attempt has been taken to assess the water quality and its impact on local inhabitants along with their health problems due to industrialization without treatment plant in Noapara and Chhatiain Union of Habiganj. To assess the water quality, physico-chemical analysis of water was carried out based on their importance in different usage. Water samples of different locations have DO in the ranges of 2.1mg/l to 9.8mg/l. According to WQI, during dry period, about 42% water samples are ranked as “Unsuitable” whereas 28.5% as “Excellent” during monsoon.CDI value from dermal absorption was evaluated using USEPA guidelines and found the highest amount as 140mg and 150mg for children and adult respectively for only elements related with nitrate and ammonia.
