A critical review on the treatment of dye-containing wastewater: Ecotoxicological and health concerns of textile dyes and possible remediation approaches for environmental safety

🤖 Plain-English Summary

The synthetic dyes used in the textile industry pollute a large amount of water. This review compares the most recent technologies which are commonly used to remove dye from textile wastewater, with a focus on the advantages and drawbacks of these various approaches.

🔑 Key Findings

• Textile dyes do not bind tightly to the fabric and are discharged as effluent into the aquatic environment.
• As a result, the continuous discharge of wastewater from a large number of textile industries without prior treatment has significant negative consequences on the environment and human health.
• Textile dyes contaminate aquatic habitats and have the potential to be toxic to aquatic organisms, which may enter the food chain.
