Research Abstract	Heterocyclic aminec, carcinogens were detected in the effluent from municipal treatment plant. These are originated from human waste, that is human diet that is chared proteins. We analyzed these heterocyclic amines in the water environment, especially municipal treatment plant and its sludge handling process as source of these carcinogenic substances. And more, these substances wre obtained in the river water. From the se analyzed data, risk assessment for the heterocyclic amines contained in the water environment.
