Abstract
Textile effluent treatment methods use biological and chemical treatments to reduce the toxicity and to comply with standard effluent discharge limits. However, trace amounts of pollutants can affect the biological organisms in the receiving environment. The present study used Allium cepa bio assay to assess the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of treated textile effluents discharged to the natural environment. The results of the bioassay indicated that treated textile effluents can induce alterations in the mitotic index. Also nuclear buds, bi nuclei, condensed nuclei, were recorded in the bioassay and the severity of them decreased towards downstream of the effluent discharge point. Therefore, it can be concluded that even the discharged effluents comply with the standard limits, there is a possibility of causing cytotoxic and genotoxic effects in the organisms living in the natural environment.
