Physiochemical analysis of polluted water samples collected from vicinity of National Highway was carried out. Different parameters like pH, TDS, BOD, COD, DO and different heavy metals were determined by standard analytical methods. The result observed that the waste water pollution load is decreased when the distance increased from NH. Polluted water besides NH indicates high pollutant load. Polluted water with more pollutants not treated properly is act as source for other pollution like soil, air and water through leaching, percolation, weathering and downstream flow. Hence, proper management and amendment of polluted water bodies caused by vehicular emission on the both side and around National Highway is essential for human health and environmental protection. key words: Heavy metals, Waste water, BOD, COD, vehicular emission.
