Abstract

This study evaluated the effect of leather industrial wastewater on the germination and seedling development of three medicinal plants. Andrographis paniculata, Emilia sonchifolia and Tridax procumbens are the medicinal plants that were selected for this study. Leather tanning includes different procedures which required large quantities of water so the amount of wastewater production by this industry is dangerously high. Different steps in the tanning process like liming and chrome tanning and rechromming produce an immense amount of effluent water which contains many hazardous chemicals. the chemical contents present in the tanning industrial effluent is potential to cause a serious threat to the ecosystem. The current study is aimed to evaluate the effect of leather industrial effluents on the germination and seedling development of three selected medicinal plants. Before the germination experiment, the effluent sample collected from a leather industry located at Pullepady, Kochi Eranakulam. Kerala, India was analyzed for different chemical and physical parameters. After the analysis of effluent water, it was used to conduct a seed germination experiment on 3 test plants. The concentrations of effluent used were 10%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% distilled water was used as control after 7 days of germination treatment germination percentage, Vigour index, and Phytotoxicity were calculated. The study reveals that even at the lowest concentration effluent sample adversely affects all three selected medicinal plants, and the negative effects intensified as the concentration of the effluent sample increases. At 100 % concentrations, all three test plants failed to germinate. Emilia sonchifolia is found to be most sensitive to tanning industrial effluent compared to Andrographis paniculata and Tridax procumbens.
皮革工业废水对部分药用植物发芽和幼苗生长的影响
研究了皮革工业废水对三种药用植物发芽和幼苗发育的影响。本研究选用穿心莲、细毛莲和三叶草为研究对象。制革包括不同的程序,需要大量的水,所以这个行业产生的废水量是危险的高。制革过程中的不同步骤,如石灰化、铬鞣和再铬化,会产生大量含有许多有害化学物质的废水。制革工业废水中存在的化学成分有可能对生态系统造成严重威胁。本研究旨在评价皮革工业废水对三种药用植物发芽和幼苗发育的影响。在发芽实验前,采集了位于高知埃拉纳库拉姆市Pullepady的一家皮革工业的废水样本。对印度喀拉拉邦的不同化学和物理参数进行了分析。对出水进行分析后,在3株试验植物上进行种子萌发试验。发芽处理7 d后,以蒸馏水浓度为10%、20%、40%、60%、80%和100%为对照,计算发芽率、活力指数和植物毒性。研究表明,即使在最低浓度的出水样品也会对三种选定的药用植物产生不利影响,并且随着出水样品浓度的增加,负面影响会加剧。在100%浓度下,所有三种试验植物都无法发芽。与穿心莲和三叶草相比,对制革工业废水最为敏感。
