Abstract:
Much of the lower river suffered severe pollution during the 19th and 20th centuries because of industrial waste discharges and improper waste disposal practices on adjacent land. All drinking water, both tap and bottled, includes surface sources such as rivers, stream lakes, and reservoirs, and ground water source (wells) may be containing small amounts of some contaminants.
New Jersey’s Passaic River has been a heavily polluted industrial waterway, for more than a country.
In this study, chlorine analysis has been done by EPA Titration method.
In Passaic River above Newark, New Jersey, the chlorine result has been found to be 7.00 mg/mL (ppm). In wastewater the chlorine discharge limit range is between 3 mg/L and 200 mg/L, depending on the season, and the industrial area.
