Abstract: The investigation involved examining effluent water collected from five locations, including automobile, plastic, leather, chemical, and solvent factories. We used industrystandard methodologies to explore these variables. The wastewater conductivity ranges from 1208.3 to 7128.27 µScm−1, while the water pH ranges from 3.5 to 8.5. The highest concentration of total dissolved solids was 8,125 mg/l, while the highest concentration of biological oxygen requirement was 2762.45 mg/l. Samples taken from the automobile site had the highest nitrate concentration (167.00 mg/l). In contrast, samples taken from the solvent plant and the automobile factory had the highest sulphate concentrations (498 and 48 73 mg/l, respectively), and the chemical oxygen demand varied substantially across the sample locations (771.66-3108.03 mg/l). At 8,545.23 and 11.2 mg/l, respectively, the chloride and sulphide levels were highest in samples taken from solvent industries and leather factories. Almost all of the physicochemical parameters measured in this study exceeded the limits set by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the World Health Organisation, and these limits varied across samples.
