Abstract: The Pakistan Pharmaceutical Industry is one of indispensable industries of this country. This industry manufactures very important life saving as well as life-enhancing medicines. This industry produces a wide variety of chemical products which are consist of antibiotics, analgesics, disinfectants, anesthetics, muscle relaxants, water soluble salts,, anti-clotting agents, cardiovascular medicines and vitamin in different forms like tablets, capsules, ampoules, syrups. This industry plays the role of life saving institute. At the same time this huge industry has been witnessed a source of liquid pollution, if run without treatment plant or proper disposable measures. Present study of effluents of selected Pharmaceutical industries of Hyderabad Division was conducted. Total five industries were brought under study of Hyderabad and Jamshoro site area. Sampling was done on monthly basis during the year 2015. Samples were analyzed for Physico-chemical parameters. The results were compared with National Environmental Quality Standard (NEQS) for municipal and liquid industrial effluent of Pakistan. The average ranging results of studied parameters were found as pH (4.64 – 7.74), E. C (1072 – 3021 µs/cm), salinity (0.6 – 1.5 ppt), TDS (684.1 – 2126.4 mg/L), Chlorides (86.83 – 1136.122 mg/L), Alkalinity (740.64 – 1491.2 mg/L), Hardness (125 – 346 mg/L), Sodium (30.08 – 69.18 mg/L), Potassium (47.49 – 66.96 mg/L), Calcium (140.06 – 185.4 mg/L), Magnesium (23.022 – 39.574 mg/L), Lead (0.0164 – 0.018 mg/L), Copper (2.328 – 2.984) and Zinc (0.0398 – 0.0448 mg/l). The concentration of pH, TDS, Zn and Pb, except Copper, of industrial effluents was found within permissible limits of NEQS for municipal and liquid industrial effluent of Pakistan.
