 ABSTRACT

Textile industries are the most environmentally unsustainable industry due to the consumption of a lot of fresh water during textile processing and the effluent of a large quantity of highly polluted wastewater after textile processing. Due to the unavailability of fresh water, textile effluent is utilized in agricultural practice. Textile wastewater contains a high amount of chemicals and colours. Hence, fertile agricultural land turns into the barren soil. Nanotechnology can resolve this problem by treating textile wastewater positively. In this study, we examined the effects of textile wastewater on the germination of wheat seeds. On the other hand, we also observe the effectiveness of ZnO NPs in the treatment of textile wastewater and seed germination rate in this water.

Keywords: Nanoparticles; Seed germination; Textile wastewater; ZnO NPs.
