[b] Phytotoxicity analysis of Textile Effluent and Relative Germination Study on Dicot Seeds[/b]
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Chemistry and Environment (IJRCE) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
[i] The chemicals present in the textile effluent are not only poisonous to humans but also found toxic to the growth of plants and aquatic life. Certain pollutants in textile waste water are more important to target for pollution. Such effluents must be treated before discharging in to the agricultural field. Present investigation has clearly shown that industrial effluents are toxic to seed germination and growth rate. However the magnitude of toxicity depends upon the nature and concentration of chemicals present in the effluent. This study attempts to analyze the physico-chemical characteristics of textile effluent and to understand its effect on germination and growth rate of different seeds. The results will contribute towards understanding the nature of sensitivity of various growth parameters of textile effluents and the possible use of such growth parameters to assess the degree of toxicity of textile effluents.[/i]
