Phytotoxicity, cytotoxicity and genotoxicity evaluation of organic and inorganic pollutants rich tannery wastewater from a Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) in Unnao district, India using Vigna radiata and Allium cepa

Mutagenicity, genotoxicity and oxidative stress induced by pesticide industry wastewater using bacterial and plant bioassays

“…Many findings displayed that even very low level of pesticides cause natal defects [6]. Numerous scientific endeavours in the area of genotoxicity of wastewater suggested direct association with mutagenicity of pollutants into water bodies [7,8]. Several industrial wastewater effluents and sludges has shown high mutagenic potential [9,10].…”

“…A. cepa plant model is also extensively used for the evaluation of genotoxicity due to high sensitivity towards the xenobiotic compounds [22]. Mung bean ( Vigna radiata ) seed is another important short-term assay for genotoxicity evaluation using different parameters such as seed germination, seedling vigour index [7] to reflects the impacts of contaminants on the growth of plant. Many other in-vitro tests for the evaluation DNA damages are also routinely applied in the studies of wastewater monitoring.…”

Taguchi Method and Response Surface Methodology in the Treatment of Highly Contaminated Tannery Wastewater Using Commercial Potassium Ferrate

“…The current research has also confirmed a phytotoxicity, cytotoxicity, and genotoxicity of organic and inorganic pollutants contained in tannery wastewater by using Vigna radiate L. and Allium cepa L . The toxicological studies showed that tannery wastewater (containing, among others, benzoic acid, benzeneacetamide, resorcinol, phthalates) can inhibit seed germination and root growth, can cause chromosomal aberrations (stickiness, chromosome loss, C-mitosis and vagrant chromosome) and nuclear abnormalities such as micronucleated and binucleated cells [19].…”

Wastewater treatment, reuse, and disposal‐associated effects on environment and health

“…The toxicity of tannery effluents from a common effluent treatment plant in India was characterized and evaluated by Yadav, Raj, et al (2019) and Yadav, Gerber, Gerber, Saint, Akker, and Short (2019). The identification was extended for genotoxicity, cytotoxicity, and phytotoxicity of the treated wastewater.…”

“…The quality of sludge and biosolids in Australia was studied for samples from a large wastewater treatment plant by Yadav, Raj, et al (2019) and Yadav, Gerber, et al (2019). The investigation aimed to understand five drugs' occurrence and concentration.…”
