The main objective of this paper is to determine the effects of jute mill waste water on seed germination and seedling growth of Cicer arietinum and Pisum sativum plants under laboratory conditions. The effect of jute mill waste water was compared to that of control (distilled water). Jute mill waste water at different concentrations (10, 20, 30, 40, 80 and 100 %) influenced the seed germination and vigour index of C. arietinum and P. sativum. It was concluded that jute mill waste water has significantly played a profound role on the germination and growth of seeds and seedlings of Cicer arietinum and Pisum sativum.

Despite reports of amifostine possibly protecting nephrotoxicity from cisplatin, it has not been recommended by any guidelines committees or routinely prescribed in clinical practice over the past decade. In this article, we review literature and guidelines regarding use of amifostine in oncology practice for protection against adverse effects from certain chemotherapeutic agents, in particular as a nephro-protectant in patients receiving cisplatin.
