Abstract

The rapid growth of industrialisation has shown adverse effects on the environment. Industrial wastes are one of the key sources of pollutants. Therefore, the treatment of industrial effluents before discharging into sewage lines has become a matter of great concern for environmental conservation (Sarker et al., 2016). In Bangladesh, 10% of industries with more than 3000 industrial units have their own effluent treatment plant while the remaining industries discharge effluents in the river without any treatment/with minimal treatment, which contaminates ground water, agricultural lands, irrigation system and are finally introduced into the food chain by getting transferred into various plant parts through soil (Roy et al., 2014).
