Tanneries generate diverse pollution relying upon the technique used. In the present study, the tannery effluent collected from a tannery industry from erode was characterized for fundamental parameters. Tannery effluent became selected and tested for various physical and chemical parameters. The effluent was blackish gray colored with a unpleasant odor and parameters like Alkalinity, Acidity, Temp, pH, Turbidity, with excessive organic and inorganic compounds indicating high Electric Conductivity (EC), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total solids (TS), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Suspended solids (TSS), Total hardness, Oils and Grease. The chemical parameters are Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Calcium (Ca), Iron (Fe), Chloride (Cl), Nitrite (NO), Nitrate +, Magnesium (Mg), Phosphate, Fluoride, Sulphat and Chromium. The physicochemical parameters were, determined as per the standards prescribed by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
