The aqueous discard that is produced by an industrial manufacturing process results in water pollution, having pollutants dissolved or suspended in water. The magnitude of the problem increases many folds if several manufacturing units are concentrated in a small area. Industrial wastewater differs in quality and quantity of substances, causing pollution depending upon the type of industry producing it. The present study deals with an analysis of physicochemical characteristics of wastewater effluents from ceramic industries in Khurja district, Uttar Pradesh. Wastewater samples were collected from five different sites in Khurja district during the study period and analysed for pH, electrical conductivity, alkalinity, acidity, total hardness, dissolved oxygen, and various ions. The results were compared to WHO standards, and it showed that some parameters have higher values while few were within the limit.
