ABSTRACT
Water pollution by heavy metals has been exaggerated in recent years as a result of various
industrial activities. The present study aimed at assessing the concentrations of heavy metals,
Copper, Iron, Manganese and Zinc (Cu,Fe, Mn and Zn) in Manjakkudi and Pakkam lakes during
different seasons of the year 2013-2015.The results emphasized that, Fe accounted to be maximum
pollutant in both the lakes during all the seasons analysed. All the heavy metals were found to be in
fractional amount in both the lakes. The studies also showed that the heavy metal concentrations
were high in both the lakes during the months of April and June of each year. The heavy metal
pollution brings risk to the water ecological system and more attention should be paid for their
effective removal.
Keywords: Heavy metals, Water pollution, Iron, Seasonal variation
