Description
In order to assess the pollution repercussions of sewage and its alternative productive uses, Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) has been employed for the determination of about 20 elements (As, Au, Ba, Br, Cr, Co, Cu, Eu, Fe, Hf, Hg, K, La, Mg, Mn, Na, P, Sb, Sc, Se, Th, Zn etc.) in sludges from domestic, industrial and municipal areas of Bombay. A comparison of the elemental contents shows significant differences for As, Br, Ba, Co, Cr, Hg, Mn, Sb, Zn etc. An attempt has been made to explain the elemental contents vis-a-vis industrial development and pollution status of the respective locations.
