A Critical Evaluation of Mercury Contamination in Groundwater of Punjab
Abstract: Groundwater in Punjab State has been over-exploited for irrigation purposes during the last few decades. As a consequence, it has been contaminated with heavy metals including Mercury, which is highly toxic for human health. The permissible limit for Mercury in groundwater is 0.001 mg/L (1ppb). Mercury concentration in groundwater has been estimated using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) which is calibrated using a standard protocol. Ferozepur district in Punjab …
