Phenolic compounds find out their way in the water bodies as a result of industrial activities along with being synthesized by other natural commotions. The present investigation deals with the study of leaching effect of such phenolic compounds and its abatement by using a range of carbons acquired from nature and activated in the laboratory using ZnCl2. All the water samples were analyzed for Phenolic content by the 4-Amino Antipyrine method and confirmed by the bromination method. The investigation revealed that the phenolic content in the samples varied from a minimum of 0.01ppm to 79.65ppm, which according to WHO was much higher than the permissible levels of 0.2ppm for 2,4,6-trichlorophenols(2,4,6-TCP) and 0.04ppm for 2,4-dichlorophenols (2,4-DCP). 2,4,6-TCP and 2,4-DCP being the two most probable phenolic compounds to occur in drinking water.The rise in the values of phenolic content in the samples of Sawla and Jatada were accredited to the leaching effect of the effluent from the agro and insecticide industry, sited in the proximity of these villages.Abatement of phenolic content was carried out by preparing carbons from Mangifera indica, Saraca asoca, Psidium guajava as well as commercial carbon, which were activated in the laboratory using ZnCl2. Each of the natural carbon exhibiting a distinct capacity of lessening phenolic content.
