The present invention provides low cost and highly effective method for the removal of arsenic and Cr(III&VI) from contaminated water using zinc peroxide nanoparticles (20±5 nm) capped with glycerol/PVP/TEA upto the permissible range of drinking water. As Arsenic and chromium occurs naturally in the earth's crust. When rocks, minerals, and soil erode, they release arsenic and chromium into groundwater. Arsenic and chromium occurs naturally in varying amounts in groundwater in various parts of country from ppb level to ppm level. The average concentration of arsenic and chromium as per USEPA standard in drinking water it is 10 parts per billion and 0.05 ppm (50 ppb) respectively. In drinking water the level of chromium is usually low as well, but contaminated water may contain the dangerous Cr(III&VI). Although Cr(III) is an essential nutrient for humans and shortages may cause heart problems, disruptions of metabolisms and diabetes. But the uptake of too much Cr(III) can cause health effects as well, for instance skin rashes. Cr(VI) is known to cause various health effects Skin rashes, upset stomachs, respiratory problems, weakened immune systems, kidney and liver damage and lung cancer The persons who are drinking water having upto 50 ppb of arsenic and 0.05 ppm chromium over for many years could experience skin damage or problems with their circulatory system, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Keeping the above facts we developed a cost effective nanoparticles for the removal of Arsenic and Cr(III&VI) from potable water upto potable range.
