Investigation of Metal detection by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES)

Abstract: Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) methods are used for the detection of metals in the study area of Satpur and Ambad MIDC of Nasik. Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Hg, As, Ni, Fe, Ni, Cu and Mn are studies at ten sampling sites. It was found that heavy metals like Hg, As, Cr, Ni, Cd, Pb, Zn and Cu ions are serious environmental pollutants frequently encountered in industrial waste water from textile dyeing and printing, pesticide, chemicals, pulp and paper, sugar industries etc.
