Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the levels of specific heavy metals and pharmaceutical effluents in drinking water in the SIIDCUL region. 40 water samples were gathered for geochemical analysis from various locations. ICP-MS was used to analyze the heavy metals and LC-MS was used for detection of pharmaceuticals. The elements that were examined were Fe, Mn, Zn, Pb and Cd in 47.5%, 7.5%, 2.5%, 0% and 0% of the water samples, respectively, the values of Fe and Zn for a portion of the groundwater samples were higher than the suggested standard. In pharmaceuticals, antibiotics were examined in drinking water samples. For all three population classes, the Hazard Index due to ingested heavy metals do not exceeds the permissible range.
