Abstract:
Samples were collected during December 2010 to March 2011 from the wetlands of Theni and Dindigul districts. Spectroscopic method was used to analyse the samples. The heavy metal concentration in Theni is Cd> Pb > Cr but in Dindigul is Cr>Cd>Pb. The study reveals that Cr and Cd are being high in the wetland sediments. Cadmium showed the maximum among the heavy metals in Theni district where as in Dindigul it is Chromium, which may affect the residents in future.
