Abstract

Pollution is increasing in all forms including the water pollution causing damage to the vulnerable aquatic life. In this study, sampling stations were set up to monitor the level of hydrocarbon pollution in the river systems in two selected rivers in India. We used the Dichloromethane for extraction of the sample and analysis were made using the gas chromatography-flame ionization detector. The average value of total petroleum hydrocarbon in the surface water samples is less than or equal to the standard value by DPR of 10 ml/L. The pollution though moderate and low, still pose threat to humans and aquatic organisms and therefore effort should be made by relevant authorities to entails this menace.
