The industrial wastewater treatment is a critical aspect of the environmental management, ensuring compliance with the discharge regulations and minimizing the ecological impacts. This study analyzes the wastewater samples collected from an electroplating industry in Bangalore to assess their physico-chemical characteristics. The parameters including pH, temperature, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, turbidity, chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand and heavy metal concentrations like chromium and lead were tested across the ten different samples. The obtained results were compared with the standard permissible limits. The findings indicate the variations in pollutant concentrations across the samples. The research underscores the importance of the regular monitoring and the effective wastewater management to mitigate the industrial pollution and safeguard the aquatic ecosystems.
