This study was carried out in order to assess the effect of industrial effluents on the surface water and sediment around BSCIC industrial area, Narayanganj. Different parameters such as TDS, DO, pH, EC, Turbidity, BOD, COD, and heavy metals such as Pb, Zn, Cd, Mn, Cr and Ni were investigated. The results showed that, different industries inside the BSCIC area discharge effluents composed of various chemicals at considerably higher levels compared to pollution limits of inland surface water standard given by DoE. Significantly higher levels of EC (3540 ?S/cm), TDS (3862 mg/l), BOD (143.71 mg/l) and COD (396.30 mg/l) were found in the water. Also a higher level of heavy metals along with high pH was found both for the water and sediment around the BSCIC area. A significant correlation was found between the pH, EC and heavy metal concentration of the collected water samples. The above findings point out that the water around the studied area is quite polluted by the industrial activities of the BSCIC area and malicious for surrounding environment.Bangladesh J. Sci.
