Abstract

Physico-chemical parameters of effluents from Tanneries (vegetable and chrome tanneries) were studied. The tan-
neries effluents usually discharged into the rivers streams without any pre-treatment were found to have high load of
solids, COD, sulfides, phenols and chromium beside being highly coloured. The continued uncontrolled discharge of
effluents with heavy pollution load would cause the deterioration of the ground water as well as adversely affcctS the
surrounding environments of the tanneries/leather industries.
