Abstract

A Determination of the concentration of cu ions present in the flooring basement water sample was investigated. samples of flooding basement at different level that had been flooded previously by the water to determine the concentration of copper ion (Cu2+) in the flooding basement sample water using colourimetric and AAS analysis, determine the extent of contamination or dilution of the flooding sample basement water by organism ( yeast),report on any high level concentration of Cu2+ and viable bacteria present in the sample basement water and their likely impact on the health of the people if need be proffer solution to the problems. Three various test was carryout at different time at different lab and with three result. These tests include two absorption test to analyze the copper concentration in the basement water influx while comparing to minimum adopted given value (100mg/L). It was deduce from the analysis result both the AAS and spectrophotometric copper concentration in the basement water is less than the adapted value of 100mg/L standing against the position of the bookseller. Contaminated water was excellently discharge due to ecotoxiocological analysis that take place to know if the water is safely discharge in the local water way treatment system. This area is found to be small, showing the serious altering effect of the copper despite its low concentration in the water. My client is expected to engaged in further investigation and if he so desire to make the water use able he is expected to oxidise the copper. The samples showed remarkable variation in scale appearance and mineralogy, demonstrating the diversity of pipe scales present within a single distribution system. A mix of highly soluble and relatively insoluble copper phases was identified in the real world scale. Both stable scales, such as malachite, and relatively instable solids,
