Abstract

Water is the primary necessity of every living being. But for better livelihood, human beings doing numerous activities such as industrialization, urbanization, etc. lead to polluting surface water sources. The wastewater contains various pollutants like dye, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, surfactants, etc. (Garcia-Segura et al., 2016). A dye is a common pollutant that is harmful, toxic and carcinogenic in nature coming in the effluents of various industries like textile, paper, paint, food, leather, hair colouring cosmetics and printing industries. Eosin yellow (EY) is one of the synthetic dyes based on disodium salt (Rani et al., 2020). Discharge of effluent carrying EY dye will create environmental issues by increasing chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in the water source. Also, coloured water inhibits the penetration of sunlight into the water body, so it affects the photosynthesis process of aquatic plants. This phenomenon results in a decrease in dissolved oxygen (DO) level in the water body which also affects the respiration process of aquatic animals (Kumar and Ghosh, 2019; Tarkwa et al., 2019). Being carcinogenic and mutagenic in nature, it also affects human health. So, there is a strong need for treatment before it is released into any surface water stream.
