“…Chronic exposure may lead to anemia, anosmia, cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, and renal problems (Robards and Worsfold 1991). The absorption of Fe was high in all the samples which is in conformity with previous surveys (Singare and Dhabarde 2014). High absorption of Fe has been associated with increase hazards of pathogenic microorganisms, as Fe is needed by most of these beings (Lokhande et al 2011).…”

“…Cr toxicity among invertebrates depends on the species (Moore and Ramamoorthy 2012). Toxicity of Cr in plants is characterized by small stems, narrow leaves, and reddish brown stain along with necrotic blotches (Singare and Dhabarde 2014). Cr compounds can cause cancer of the urinary bladder, kidneys, testis, prostate, brain, stomach, and lungs in human organisms (Costa 1997).…”

Pharmaceutical industries are amongst the foremost contributor to industrial waste. Ecological well-being is endangered owing to its facile discharge. In the present study, heavy metals and organic contaminants in waste water were characterized using atomic absorption spectrophotometer and GC-MS, respectively. Mutagenicity and genotoxic potential of pharmaceutical waste water were investigated through bacterial reverse mutation assay and in vitro comet assay, respectively. Ames test and comet assay of first sample were carried out at concentrations of 100, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25 % v/v effluent with distilled water. Chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), arsenic (As), and cadmium (Cd) were found in high concentrations as compared to WHO- and EPA-recommended maximum limits. Arsenic was found to be the most abundant metal and its maximum concentration was 0.8 mg.L(-1). GC-MS revealed the presence of lignocaine, digitoxin, trimethoprim, caffeine, and vitamin E in waste water. Dose-dependent decrease in mutagenic index was observed in both strains. Substantial increase in mutagenicity was observed for TA-100, when assay was done by incorporating an enzyme activation system, whereas a slight increase was detected for TA-102. In vitro comet assay of waste water exhibited decrease in damage index and percentage fragmentation with the increase in dilution of waste water. Tail length also decreased with an increase in the dilution factor of waste water. These findings suggest that pharmaceutical waste water being a mix of different heavy metals and organic contaminants may have a potent mutagenic and genotoxic effect on exposed living organisms.

“…Textile industry is one of the most prominent industries that utilizes and discharges huge volume of water. Textile effluent contains extreme concentrations of chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), pH, dyes and heavy metals, along with other contaminants that are released into the nearby water bodies wherefrom it is used for irrigation of agricultural land [4,5]. The contaminants present in the effluent significantly affect the physical, chemical and biological properties of soil.…”

Irrigation of agriculture field by untreated wastewater is a common practice in the water scarce regions in India. Increasing water crisis has forced the farmers to use untreated or partially treated wastewater in their agricultural fields. In this study, agricultural soil irrigated with textile effluent was examined at five different sites on the basis of proximity to the source and analysed for physicochemical and microbiological properties. Further, the co-relation of physicochemical properties with soil enzyme was also studied. The results revealed that soil respiration and microbial biomass carbon reduced by 53.8% and 65.9%, respectively in the contaminated site as compared to control site, emphasizing the deleterious impact of effluent on the study site. Additionally, the bacterial population and dehydrogenase enzyme reduced by 41.6%, and 71%, respectively in the effluent affected soil as compared to the control site. Soil organic carbon showed a strong positive correlation (p ≤ 0. 01) with soil enzyme activity. Other physicochemical and microbiological properties of the affected soil indicated negative impact on both soil quality and microbiota.

“…Conventional methods applied to remove toxic heavy metals from effluents include chemical precipitation (13), ion exchange (14), carbon adsorption (15) and membrane separation process (16). Among all kinds of adsorption materials, activated carbon adsorption has been regarded as an efficient and major technology, but the process is expensive (17). Some main limitations are existent in these alternatives, such as expensive cost, laborintensive operation, and low efficiency.…”

Different methods to convert biomass into useful materials and products without generating pollutants will be useful for global environmental protection. The present study deals with the preparation of adsorbent from a suitable lignocellulosic biomass, Pinus palustris seeds. The adsorbent thus prepared will be used for the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions. Factors influencing the adsorption characteristics under batch conditions were studied for chromium concentrations in range of 30 – 150 ppm. The studies were conducted to optimize the size of the adsorbent, temperature and contact time. The maximum adsorption is attained at a pH of 6.5 and a dosage of 3g. The effective temperature for the reaction was at 37oC. The removal percentage increase when the optimized condition of different parameters such as size, temperature, contact time, concentration, pH and dosage. The adsorption isotherms showed that the Freundlich Isotherm is a better adsorption model and the characteristic parameters were determined. The results of the kinetic models showed that the pseudo second order kinetics was found to correlate with the experimental data. The present analysis, the absorbent that is produced from Pinus palustris seed has an efficient adsorption for chromium.
