Sewage wastewater is water discharged from the premises of a home after being used for various purposes by the community. Sewage wastewater contains microbial contaminants, plastic particles and traces of drugs that can threaten water and food safety and human health. The problem is acute in densely populated areas with limited treatment facilities. It can contain household or municipal waste that eventually flows into natural rivers and oceans. Recording the quality of water discharged into streams is critical to maintaining the health of our ecosystems. This research work aims at analyzing the water quality of Mulund’s wastewater. The results showed the presence of toxic raw chemicals affecting a variety of important parameters such as pH, conductivity and microbial community. This hazardous water quality could not only affect marine life but also leads to various diseases among the people living in the slums nearby in the absence of proper sanitation measures. This sewage is left untreated, requiring local and national wastewater treatment measures. |
