The present work is aimedto analyze Physico-Chemical parameters of wastewater effluent from a dairy industry in Chennai. The dairy industry which was taken for study purpose involves processing of raw milk into products like consumer milk, butter, cheese, ice-cream’s and other milk products.Considering the increased milk demand, the dairy industry in India is expected to grow speedily and have the waste generation and related ecological problems are also assumed increased importance. An attempt has been made to study the Physico-chemical characteristics of waste water generated from dairy industry near Chennai in Tamilnadu state of India. Waste water samples werecollected from the dairy industry and analyzed for pH, EC, TSS, NO3-, PO4, Cl-, Fe, BOD, COD, oil & grease
