The physico-chemical profile of effluent from sugar mill was determined during 2003-04. The parameters measured are temperature, colour, turbidity, pH, electrical conductivity, BOD, COD, total dissolved solids, chloride, total alkalinity, total hardness, sulphate, phosphate, total acidity, calcium and magnesium. According to the permissible level suggested by the Bureau of Indian Standards almost all the water quality parameters in the sugar effluents have been found to be very high and well above the permissible limits.
