Water And Sediment Samples

The levels of physiochemical, heavy metal and microbiological pollution in different oil contaminated regions of Tiruchirappalli city were reported in the study. The water and sediment samples from four different oil contaminated regions in Tiruchirappalli city were collected during monsoon 2015. The sampling regions were divided into two category such as heavy oil contaminated regions (oil shed / oil washed regions) and bus stand regions. In oil contaminated water sample, counts of TVC, TC, TS, FC, FS, VC, SAC, SHC and PC were in the range of 21300 126000, 1620 13200, 240 1050, 250 1130, 100 250, 120 180, 80 160, 130 200 and 260 560 CFU/mL, respectively. In soil sample, the TVC, TC, TS, FC, FS, VLO, SC and PC ranges were 56000 218000, 3100 14800, 350 1260, 330 1420, 150 300, 110 240, 120 200, 160 260 and 410 1060 CFU/g, respectively. The results of this study indicated that oil shed regions gor higher pollutions tha bus stand regions. This study gave a special emphasis on the determination of the levels of pollution and also identified the vulnerable regions. Hence, throughout impoundment and continuous monitoring is needed.

Abstract A simple and sensitive method for the determination of 19 chloroanisoles and 2 chloromethylanisoles was developed for water; another method was developed for sediment samples. Water samples were extracted with dichloromethane; sediments were extracted with a mixture of hexane and acetone in a Soxhlet apparatus. The extracts were concentrated on a Snyder column and then were cleaned up on an activated Florisil column. The anisoles were separated by either an OV-1 or SPB-5 capillary column and were detected by an electroncapture or a mass selective detector. Recoveries of chloroanisoles in fortified water and sediment samples generally ranged between 70 and 85%. The method detection limits were 0.02 /tg/L and 0.002 Mg/g for mono- and di-chloroanisoles in water and sediments and 0.002 jug/L and better than 0.001 jig/g for tri-, tetra-, and pentachloroanisoles in those matrixes. The electron-impact mass spectra of all chloroanisoles exhibited intense peaks for the molecular ions (M+ ), as well as (M - 43)+ and either (M - 15)+ or (M - 30)+ fragments. These masses were used as characteristic ions for quantitative and confirmation purposes.
