Overview

Environmental assessment evaluated water quality in the Tigris River impacted by power and refinery waste, indicating pollution levels.

Key Points

  • The research aimed to assess the impact of waste from the Al-Dora power station and refinery on water quality in the Tigris River.
  • Water samples were collected monthly for nine months from four locations.
  • Samples were analyzed for various physicochemical parameters and heavy metals.
  • Measurements included temperature, pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, and heavy metals like Pb and Cd.
  • Water temperature ranged from 12 to 21.6 °C, surpassing the critical level during summer.
  • Total alkalinity and electrical conductivity exceeded guideline limits at multiple sites.
  • Dissolved oxygen levels were low in warm seasons, with BOD readings above permissible limits.
