Humans face grave danger as a result of unfavorable changes in the physical, chemical, and biological properties of air, water, and soil. Water has become highly polluted with various harmful pollutants as a consequence of enhanced human population, modernization, fertilizer use, and man-made activity. Natural water contamination occurs as a result of rock weathering and ground leaching, resource extraction processing, and so on. The quality of drinking water must be inspected at regular intervals because the human population suffers from a variety of water-borne diseases. For example the use of drinking contaminated water. The water-born ability to safe drinking water is an important requirement for preventing and treating diseases and enhancing the quality of life. It is essential to understand the various Physical-chemical specifications used for evaluating the quality of the water, such as color, temperature, acidity, hardness, pH, sulfate, chloride, and alkalinity. Heavy metals such as Pb, Cr, Fe, Ba, Cd, As, and others are of particular concern because they cause chronic toxic effects in aquatic animals. Some process water reports with parameters have been provided for the parameter exploration venture. Regulations for comparing the value of real water samples have also been provided for various physical-chemical boundaries.

Abstract


Humans face grave danger as a result of unfavorable changes in the physical, chemical, and biological properties of air, water, and soil. Water has become highly polluted with various harmful pollutants as a consequence of enhanced human population, modernization, fertilizer use, and man-made activity. Natural water contamination occurs as a result of rock weathering and ground leaching, resource extraction processing, and so on. The quality of drinking water must be inspected at regular intervals because the human population suffers from a variety of water-borne diseases. For example the use of drinking contaminated water. The water-born ability to safe drinking water is an important requirement for preventing and treating diseases and enhancing the quality of life. It is essential to understand the various Physical-chemical specifications used for evaluating the quality of the water, such as color, temperature, acidity, hardness, pH, sulfate, chloride, and alkalinity. Heavy metals such as Pb, Cr, Fe, Ba, Cd, As, and others are of particular concern because they cause chronic toxic effects in aquatic animals. Some process water reports with parameters have been provided for the parameter exploration venture. Regulations for comparing the value of real water samples have also been provided for various physical-chemical boundaries.
