Faridabad, is an industrialised city of Haryana and forms a part of National Capital Region (NCR). The fast expansion of urban, agricultural and industrial activities followed by rapid growth of population and drastic change in the lifestyle of humans has resulted in environmental pollution. Besides, the absence of proper disposal facilities for wastes has further contributed to the environmental degradation especially that of surface as well as ground water resources in our country. Exposure to heavy metals and pesticides above permissible limits have caused several incidents all over the world in which toxicity of these elements / chemicals have caused major health problems in humans and even death. The objective of the study was to investigate the occurrence of heavy metals namely : Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd), Zinc (Zn), Arsenic (As) and pesticides namely : Chlorobenzilate, Hexachloro-benzene, Benzenether, pp-DDT, op-DDT, pp-DDE, pp-DDD, alpha-HCH, Beta- HCH, Lindane, Vinclozolin, Conumaphos, Malathion, Phosalone, Cyfluthrin, Cypermethrin, Deltamethrin, Permethrin, Fenvalerate, Fluvalinate, Cyhalothrin, Carbofurn, Propoxeur, Carbaryl, Cymiazol, Amitraz, Bromprophylate, Chinomethionate in potable (tap) water samples collected from various areas of Faridabad.
