Abstract
The physical properties of the liquid waste discharged from Tikrit Teaching Hospital were studied as one of the main problems of water pollution. One of the most harmful pollutants affecting surface water is sewage that leaks from hospitals into rivers directly without treatment. Physical examinations were conducted for a period of three months (October, November, and December) during the winter of the year (2023), and physical properties such as temperature, water turbidity, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, and total suspended solids were measured. The results showed that all physical properties were higher than the control treatment of tap water entering the hospital and higher than the Iraqi standard criteria for drinking water.
