ABSTRACT

The quality of the environment is degrading continuously, due to the accumulation of various undesirable constituents. Water resources, the most important and useful components of the environment, are most affected by pollution. The ground and surface water at many places in the world are not suitable for drinking purposes, due to the presence of aesthetic and toxic pollutants. Therefore, the importance of water quality preservation and improvement is essential and continuously increasing.[1,2] The most important toxic pollutants are inorganic and organic chemicals. Therefore, determination of these water pollutants at trace levels is essential in environmental hydrology.
