摘要
The present study attempts to evaluate the quality of the drinking water (tap) particularly heavy metal concentrations (Fe, Zn, Pb, Cu and Cd) in selected areas of Imphal east district, Manipur. Findings were compared with the Indian Standard (ISI) and Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) for drinking water specification. Concentrations of metals such as iron, cadmium and lead are alarming. They crossed the maximum permissible limit for drinking water standards set by ISI and ICMR.
