Background: Dyeing industrial process involves use of broad range of harmful chemical substances, organic solvents, fixatives, variety of bleaches and dyes used for preparation and coloration that may affect health of occupationally exposed workers Aim of the work: To evaluate adverse health effects occurring as a result of exposure to different physical and chemical Occupational hazards on workers in textile dyeing industry. Subjects and Methods: Our cross sectional study was performed in The Textile Dyeing unit at spinning factory in the middle region of the Nile Delta in Egypt in a period of 6 months from August 2022 to January 2023. The study subjects were 100 workers occupationally exposed to textile dyes. The study tools were interview questionnaire and clinical examination for workers. Results: The most frequent nasal symptoms were runny nose and block nose 22% and 20% respectively. The most frequent skin symptoms was itchy and blisters 68.4% and 52.6% respectively. The most location of skin symptoms was hands (58.8%). The most certain substance were strong acid and alkali. The majority were improve when off work (89.5%). Ear show that the most frequent symptoms was difficult hearing and tinnitus 30% and 8% respectively. GIT and liver show that the most frequent symptoms was Constipate & bloat and Gastritis 26% and 20% respectively. Conclusion and Recommendations:The working environment in textile dyeing industry expose workers to different chemical hazards that leads to multiple health disorders. It is recommended to regularly check those workers for early identification of such health hazards with medical intervention in due time.

“…In this regard the role of energy intensity has been investigated in several economic sectors, including transportation [32][33][34], manufacturing [35][36][37], development [38,39], information and communication [40,41], agriculture [42,43], etc. Considering the constant demand for textiles and clothing, as well as the significant impact of the textile industry on economic growth in many countries, empirical evaluation of the contribution of the textile industry to growth, and its growing environmental impact, have been identified in several studies [13,44], particularly for developing economies [14,[45][46][47]. Among them, You, Cheng and Yan (2009) [48] examined the role of the textile industry and its environmental impact in China.…”

The objective of the current examination is to identify the dynamic relationship between the textile industry and energy intensity. The study evaluates the asymmetric impact of textile manufacturing on energy intensity in leading Asian economies based on textile dominance. China, Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, South Korea, Thailand, Japan and Vietnam are dominant in textile manufacturing. In the present study we used yearly textiles and clothing data from top ten selected Asian textile manufacturing countries from 1990 to 2018. The results of quantile-on-quantile regression (QQ) confirmed that textiles and clothing (T&C) production have a positive and significant impact on energy intensity in all countries. The results further suggested that a low level of T&C production increases the level of energy intensity in all selected countries. On the other hand, the results of Granger causality in quantiles confirm a bidirectional causal relationship between T&C production and energy intensity in all selected countries except Thailand and Japan, where a uni-directional causal connection between textile and clothing manufacturing and energy intensity can also be found. This study recommends that governments and investors need to invest more in green and advanced technologies to reduce the energy intensity in Asian economies.

“…The environmental repercussions of untreated or inadequately treated wool scouring wastewater are substantial, including water pollution, soil degradation, and adverse effects on aquatic ecosystems [3,4]. These contaminants can compromise water quality, disrupt microbial communities, and potentially harm sensitive aquatic species [4,5]. Furthermore, the challenges associated with wool scouring wastewater management are multifaceted, ranging from the development of efficient treatment technologies capable of handling its unique composition to addressing the economic and regulatory considerations that surround its disposal and reuse within a sustainable textile industry framework [6][7][8].…”

In recent times, biochar has emerged as a promising and sustainable solution for COD reduction in wastewater treatment. This study explores the potential of chemically modified biochars as efficient adsorbents for the removal of organic contaminants, specifically oils, fats, and grease (OFG), from wool scouring wastewater. Proximate analysis revealed distinct properties among the biochars, with KOH-treated biochar demonstrating the most promising characteristics, including lower volatile matter, higher fixed carbon content, and reduced ash content, indicating a stable and carbon-rich structure. A meticulous examination of the KOH-treated biochar’s surface characteristics revealed the presence of elevated carbon and nitrogen content, complemented by an expansive surface area measuring 724.4 m2/g. This surface area was at least twice as extensive as that observed in the other post-treated biochar samples. The kinetic adsorption of COD and soluble COD was well fitted by the pseudo-first-order model, with equilibrium achieved in approximately 200 min. The KOH-treated biochar exhibited the highest equilibrium adsorption capacities for both COD and soluble COD in both Dorset wool (Dorset) and Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) wastewater, highlighting its efficacy in OFG removal. Despite these promising results, further research is needed to explore biochar’s surface characteristics, pore structure, and performance under diverse conditions, as well as its integration with existing treatment processes and potential for regeneration and reuse. This study contributes to advancing sustainable wastewater treatment methods using chemically modified biochars.
