The concentrations of the trace elements Fe, Cu, Pb, Mn, Zn were studied in groundwater of Chrompet Industrial area of Tamil Nadu. The degree of trace element pollution and the suitability of groundwater for drinking purpose was assessed. The concentration of Pb found to be present above maximum permissible limit. More than permissible limit of Fe was found around the industrial area. The concentrations of Zn, Cu and Mn are well below the maximum permissible limit as recommended by ISI (1983) for drinking purpose
