    (J. Sc. & Tech. Univ. Peshawar, 2016) Idrees Khan; Abdullah Khan; Wisal Shah; Muhammad Ziad; Muhammad Rizwan
    The present research work was conducted for the purpose to assess drinking water quality in relation to sanitation system in Haripur city. Drinking water samples were collected at consumer end from 31 various locations for physico-chemical and biological analysis. Major Chemical parameters like were pH, Electric Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS),Total Suspended solids (TSS), Total Solids (TS), alkalinity, phosphate (PO4-3), nitrate (NO3-), sulphate (SO4-2), chloride (Cl-), total hardness, calcium hardness (Ca+2), magnesium hardness (Mg+2), sodium (Na+)and potassium (K+) were analyzed. Results of the study showed that all the parameters were inpermissible limits except pH (8.7) and total suspended solid (TSS) (29.7). Both pH and total suspended solid (TSS) were found exceeding the recommended level addressed by WHO and Pakistan water quality standards. On other hand, biological contamination was found to be in the form of total coli form and E.colithat makes the water of the study area unsuitable for drinking and is causing major health implications such as diarrhea, dysentery, cholera, hepatitis etc.

    Impacts Of Industrial Effluents On Ground Water Quality Of Hattar Industrial Estate And Its Associated Health Risks
    (J. Sc. & Tech. Univ. Peshawar, 2016) Muhammad Asad Khan; Muhammad Ayaz Khan; Zia Urrahman; Abdullah Khan; Salman Khan
    Current study was under taken to analyze underground water of the Hattar Industrial Estate (HIE) and that of reference areas for physio-chemical and biological parameters and to determine health impacts associated with the contamination of the water bodies.For this purpose, random sampling technique is used. A total of thirty-five samples of underground water were collected from the source and user points, and were analyzed for physio-chemical i.e. Temperature, pH, Electric Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Alkalinity, Ca-hardness, Mg-hardness, Total Hardness (TH), Chlorine (Cl), Nitrates (NO3). The results were compared with World Health Organization (WHO) standards and National Environmental Quality Standards (NEQS) that showed that most of the parameters were within the prescribed limits. It is concluded that water quality of industrial area is as good as the control site because there is no significance difference in the water quality of industrial area as compared with that of control site.
