Chemical characteristics of rainwater in central India
In the present work, the rainwater chemistry in the most industrialized area of central India, Raipur city (capital, Chhattisgarh state) is described. The volume weighted mean value (n=31) of pH, conductivity and TDS of the rainwater during monsoon season, May – October, 2008 was 6.42, 483 μS and...

Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Summary: | In the present work, the rainwater chemistry in the most industrialized area of central
India, Raipur city (capital, Chhattisgarh state) is described. The volume weighted
mean value (n=31) of pH, conductivity and TDS of the rainwater during monsoon season,
May – October, 2008 was 6.42, 483 μS and 237 mg l-1, respectively. The volume
weighted mean content of ions i.e. Cl-, NO3
-, SO4
2-, NH4
+, Na+, K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ was
2.83, 2.71, 7.64, 0.73, 1.00, 0.92, 1.1 and 2.53 mg l-1, respectively. The variations, scavenging
and enrichment, correlations and sources of the ions in the rainwater are discussed. |
