  • Abstract:
  • This study investigates the presence and concentration of organic pollutants in groundwater from sewage-irrigated and non-sewage irrigated areas of Sitapura Industrial Area in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. The research aims to assess the impact of long-term sewage irrigation on groundwater quality and potential health risks associated with the practice. Groundwater samples were collected from various locations in both sewage-irrigated and non-sewage irrigated areas. These samples were analyzed for a range of organic pollutants, including pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and industrial chemicals. The results revealed significant differences in the concentration and types of organic pollutants present in groundwater from the two areas. Sewage-irrigated areas showed higher levels of pharmaceutical residues and personal care product compounds, while both areas contained industrial pollutants. This study highlights the need for improved wastewater treatment and management practices to protect groundwater resources and public health in regions practicing sewage irrigation.
