Analysis of Heavy Metals Accumulation in Nagapattinam Coastal Waters, South East Coast of India

Heavy metals in ocean water which cause hazardous impact to the marine organisms. Effluent discharges from industries such as metal processing, paints and pigment production, biocides production through domestic sewage nearby villages. Toxic cadmium (Cd), Cr, copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), zinc (Zn) emanate these polluting seawater paving way for many serious problems we face today. The current study focuses on distribution of heavy between October 2016 March 2017 coastal waters Tranquebar, Poraiyar, Kottucherry, Karaikal, off southeast coast India. Four including Cd, Cu, Hg, Zn were analyzed by a microwave assisted digestion atomic absorption spectrophotometer. These comments subsequent considerations this help manage pollution wild industrial sources into aquatic environments. Hence, regions needed throughout impoundment.
