It has been reported that dyes toxicity may happen due to either the direct action of the original compound or its intermediate metabolites such as naphthalene, benzidine and other aromatic amines
AbstractTextile industry has been considered for years to be one of the major sources of worldwide pollution problems. Huge amount of wastewater is generated at different stages of textile manufacturing. These waste products are mostly released in the environment without prior consideration. In Fact, they are highly contaminated with lot of chemicals including dyes. For this reason, the investigation of the effects of those compounds over the environment and human health has become a great interest. This review outlines the chemical synonyms, molecular structure and the toxicological effects of 85 textile dyes. The potential fate and effect of those substances on aquatic, human health and ecosystem are discussed in this article.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
