Comparative Physicochemical and Genotoxicity Assessments of Textile Mill Company Effluent and Local Tie-And-Dye Textile Wastewater
2017
Overview
The textile industry has become indispensable in view of its basic and
social importance to human life, but its environmental impact has
continued to be a subject of concern. The objectives of the present
study were to assess and compare the physico-chemical and genotoxicity
properties of a corporate textile mill effluent and the wastewater
generated by a local Tie-and-dye (Adire) business in Western Nigeria.
While the Allium cepa assay was used to assess genotoxicity, standard
APHA and other procedures were used to analyse the physico-chemical
properties. Results showed that many physicochemical qualities of the
two effluent types were higher than the recommended limits. The root
growth and mitotic inhibition potential of the two effluent types
increased with rising effluent concentrations and period of exposure.
The chromosome aberrations induced by the two effluent types were
binucleated, attached, vagrant, sticky, and bridged chromosomes.
Independent samples t-test analyses revealed that the differences
between the two effluent types were only marginal and not significant
(P > 0.05). This implies that the textile mill company whose
effluent was used for this study did not subject its effluent to
treatment before discharging, and if it did, the treatment was grossly
inadequate. Governments at all levels in Nigeria, and other countries
in which similar results may be obtained, are called upon to
reinvigorate their regulatory agencies to enable them to discharge
their oversight functions effectively.
