Physicochemical Characterization and Environmental Impact of Car Wash Wastewater

Ahmed Suhail Hussein Ghassan F. Al Samarrai Arshad .H Yaseen
Abstract

Car wash wastewater is a significant contributor to urban water pollution, containing a complex mixture of oils, surfactants, heavy metals, suspended solids, and microbial contaminants. This study investigates the physicochemical characteristics of raw car wash effluent and assesses its environmental impact. Key parameters including TDS, EC, pH, turbidity, and TSS were measured to evaluate pollution levels. Results show elevated levels of COD, BOD, and heavy metals, indicating the necessity for efficient treatment before discharge. The study highlights the need for pretreatment systems and stricter regulatory enforcement to mitigate environmental degradation and public health risks.

More details will be added soon.
