Bio-remediation of industrial toxicity

During the last century, a huge amount of industrial waste water was discharged into rivers, lakes and coastal areas. This resulted in serious pollution problems in the water environment and caused negative effects to the Eco-system and human life. Water pollution due to the dyeing industry is a matter of great concern since a large quantity of effluent is discharged into the water bodies. Water pollution is a major global problem which requires an ongoing evaluation and the revision of water resource policy at each level. It has been suggested that water pollution is the leading worldwide cause of deaths and diseases and that it accounts for the deaths of more than 14,000 people daily,About one third of the total water pollution in India is present comes in the form of industrial effluent discharge, solid wastes and other hazardous wastes, However, this is not the case with smaller scale industries, those of which cannot afford enormous investments in pollution control equipment as their profit margin is very narrow. As a result there is sufficient evidence available related to the mismanagement of industrial wastes.
