“…As most of the salts in the water are present in the ionic form, capable of conducting electric current therefore conductivity is good and rapid measure of the total dissolved solids. In the present study, conductivity in glass industry effluent recorded was 0.275±0.02 seimens -1 /cm (Table 1), which was found to be within the limit as compared to permissible Limit prescribed by IS, 1982.

Effluent generated by various processes in factories is directly discharged without any end point treatment into drains and used for irrigation purposes. The present study was carried out to assess the effects of glass industry effluent on seed germination and seedling growth of Glycine max. Different physico-chemical parameters of effluent were analysed. The pot culture laboratory experiment was conducted with the different effluent concentrations viz., 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% along with control (ground water) used as irrigation for Glycine max crop on different time interval. The growth parameters and biochemical parameters of Glycine max were measured as root length shoot length, vigour index, chlorophyll content, ascorbic acid, fresh biomass and dry biomass on 21st day of sowing period. Maximum results of plant parameters were obtained in 25% effluent concentration diluted with 75% ground due to optimum level of nutrients present in it.

Undeniably, there is no way to stop wastewater use by the farmers, but we can try and make their usage safer by reviewing parts of crops that gather the least heavy metals and thus recommend the farmers and consumers on which parts of the crops is nontoxic to eat (Rattan et al, 2005;Ambika et al, 2010; Kumar and Chopra, 2013and Kumar et al, 2015, 2016. For farmed soil, irrigation with sewage and application of wastewater will raise crop production because of appreciated sources of vegetable nutrients and organic matter.…”

“…Vegetables are major constituents of human diet, being sources of key nutrients, antioxidants and metabolites in food items (Kumar et al, 2015). In the current study, the attentions of heavy metals in locally produced vegetables were determined throughout a harvesting period at a peripheral area of Haridwar city of India, where treated and untreated wastewater has been recycled as a source of irrigation water for about 20 years (Kumar et al, 2016). The contamination levels in soil and vegetable crops were evaluated with respect to the prescribed safe limits of different heavy metals set under national and international norms.…”

The present study was conducted to appraise the human health risk due to dietary intake of heavy metals contaminated vegetables viz., cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata), cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) and spinach, (Spinacia oleracea) grown in the municipal wastewater irrigated soil in the proximity of sewage treatment plant (STP), Jagjeetpur, Haridwar. The results showed that Cd, Fe and Mn concentrations in B. oleracea var. capitata, B. oleracea var. botrytis and S. oleracea were found beyond the safe limit of the Indian and WHO/ FAO standards for heavy metals in the vegetables. The contamination factor of these heavy metals in the soil was recorded in the order of Fe > Mn > Zn > Cu > Cr > Cd after irrigation of municipal wastewater. The higher values of metal pollution index in different vegetables as B. oleracea var. capitata (14.82; B. oleracea var. botrytis (10.48) and S. oleracea (12.59) showed more health risk index for Cd, Fe and Mn in these vegetables cultivated in the wastewater irrigated soil. Therefore, dietary intake of these heavy metals contaminated vegetables may pose a significant threat to the human health. However, cauliflower contained less heavy metal as compared to the cabbage and spinach, but health risk was more due to higher role in the diet. Even though there were low concentrations of heavy metals in the municipal wastewater used for the irrigation, but long term use of the municipal wastewater may cause gradual buildup of heavy metals in the vegetables grown in the municipal wastewater irrigated soil and leads to health risk of consumers due to intake of heavy metals contaminated vegetables. ©2018 Agriculture and Environmental Science Academy Keywords INTRODUCTIONWastewater irrigation is a collective realism in three-fourth of the cities in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Wastewater conveys substantial amounts of trace toxic metals (Pescod 1992;Yadav et al., 2002). Wastewater irrigation is known to have its significant impact to the heavy metal content of soils (Mapanda et al., 2005;Nan et al., 2002). This charging of heavy metals often clues to degradation of soil health and adulteration of food chain mainly through the vegetables grownup on such soils (Rattan et al., 2002). Most municipal farmers in India use wastewater rich in harmful heavy metals alike cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) and biological negotiators such as pathogenic bacteria, coliform bacteria fungi, protozoans and nematodes etc. and this poses serious health pressures, such as a risk of biomagnifications of heavy metals and conveying intestinal nematodes and bacterial infections especially to consumers and farm hands (Manios et al., 2006;Zhang et al., 2008;Pathak et al., 2011;Kumar et al., 2015Kumar et al., , 2017. Heavy metals are usually not removed even after the treatment of wastewater at sewage treatment plants, and thus cause threat of heavy metal adulteration of the soil and consequently to the food chain (Fytianos...

This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) for heavy metals reduction from highly toxic glass industry effluent. Based on a 40 days laboratory-scale experiment, a total of five diluted concentrations of glass industry effluent were selected to cultivate water hyacinth. Furthermore, the kinetics and prediction models were used to analyze the metals reduction data to understand the plant behavior during the phytoextraction of heavy metals. Results suggested that water hyacinth was capable to reduce Cd (91.30%), Cu (93.55%), Fe (92.81%), Mn (93.45%), Pb (89.66%), and Zn (94.44%) metals most efficiently in 25% glass industry effluent concentration, respectively. Moreover, the growth performance of the water hyacinth plant exhibited the maximum fresh plant biomass (254.90 ± 3.75 g), chlorophyll (3.53 ± 0.11 mgg −1 fwt.), and relative growth rate (0.0026 gg −1 d −1 ) using 25% dilution treatment, respectively. Additionally, the firstorder model gave the best fitting results in terms of the coefficient of determination (R 2 > 0.82) and rate constant (k > 0.023 mgL −1 d −1 ). Besides this, prediction modeling using multiple regression helped to construct mathematical equations to predict the heavy metals absorbed by water hyacinth plant tissues which were further supported by model efficiency (> 0.80) and normalized error tools (< 0.02). The results of this report are novel and have the utmost importance for the eco-friendly and sustainable treatment of glass industry effluent.
