Abstract:Heavy metals present in industrial effluent that are discharged into the environment can leach into water resources and adversely affect human health and ecosystems. Bacteria have evolved defensive mechanisms to counteract heavy metal toxicity. In this study, the concentrations of Cobalt (Co), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn) and Zinc (Zn) in titanium industry effluent were found to surpass the permissible limits set by three authentic standards for drinking water. Notably, the concentration of manganese… Show more
