Detection and Identification of Some Organic Compounds in Sewage Samples by FTIR and GLC-MS

Abstract

The organic compounds were identified in some sewage samples, which were taken from Someshwar and Tapovan at Nasik. These samples were extracted with the CH₂Cl₂ and characterized by FTIR and GC-MS. The identified organic compounds are saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, aromatic alcohols, phenols and dicarboxylic acids that affect adversely the soil and ground water quality of the area.
