Chloride Assessment Near Textile Industries Water Sources: Deteriorating Livelihood

Abstract

This research was to estimate the level of chloride in different water samples of Barnala region.Samples were collected from three different sites.Samples from five different water sources were taken under study such as drain water, surface, Tap water, Ground water and canal.Maximum value of chloride was found in Site C in drain water which is 4500mg/l. Chloride is determined in natural or slightly alkaline solution by titration with silver nitrate (AgNOᴣ) using potassium chromate as an indicator.Browncolour indicating end point.Adverse effects related to high chloride concentration are increased number of polymorhonuclear leukocyte, Kidney failure, Liver failure etc.
