“…As a result of exposure to contaminated water containing toxic agent, negative impact ranging from cytotoxicity to mutagenicity in various models (plants and animal) have been documented well 4,5,17,18 . Toxicant screening in environmental samples using method in vitro are reliable to measure the extent of pollution load and this biological assessment is compulsory for effluent monitoring, discharged from industries before being mixed with water bodies 19,20 .…”

From last few decades, there is a growing concern of chemical pollution due to their harmful effect on living organisms. The water bodies serve as temporary or final receptors of diverse variety of contaminants, which are consequently contaminating the watersheds and adjoining territories 1,2. The rapid stride in industrialization is a major concern which is jeopardizing the ecological balance 3. Among the damages caused by chemical agents to exposed organisms, genotoxic and mutagenic effects have shown to be worrying, which can lead to several health problems and also affect future generations due to inheritable alterations in genetic material. Genetic toxicology involved in detecting compounds capable of causing genetic damage with the aim of understanding potential biological penalty 4,5. The effluents discharged from industries enter into the water bodies in several different ways, either dumped directly, such as industrial effluents, or from wastewater treatment plants that do not fulfill their obligations. Due to universal solubility nature of water, almost all kinds of substances can be transported and distributed more easily in the water cycle 6,7,8. At present, the safe disposal of industrial wastewater is one of the major ecological challenges. Therefore, environmental degradation has now become a global problem and to main

The development of industrial waste treatment and disposal technologies requires the use of rapid analyses for quick and accurate assessment of the properties of waste and wastewater. Biotests allows quickly define the integral toxicity and can be attractive for screening studies. The purpose of this paper was to study the toxicity of samples of wastewater from a meat-processing plant at various test sites for a comprehensive assessment of their danger to surrounding ecosystems and the biocenosis of biological treatment facilities. The study of meat-processing wastewater, as well as its fractions, did not reveal signs of their strong toxic potential. The optimal method for studying the total toxicity of complex mixtures is to evaluate the properties of the water-soluble fraction, since it is a real threat if it enters the human body. Biotests on representatives of various trophic levels made it possible to estimate the safety of the studied wastewater in a short time, therefore were recommended as test systems for monitoring the environmental safety of wastewater in order to identify a number of individual chemical compounds, integral toxic potential, and long-term consequences for natural and artificial ecosystems.

“…Genetic toxicology is involved in detecting compounds capable of causing DNA damage with the aim of understanding potential biological consequences and molecular mechanisms of genetic material. Mutagens screening in environmental samples using in vivo method is reliable to measure the extent of pollution load and this biological assessment is compulsory for effluent discharge from industries before being mixed with watersheds and adjoining territories (Akinboro et al, 2011;de Souza Pohren et al, 2013;Hemachandra and Pathiratne, 2015;Kannangara and Pathiratne, 2015b;Rodrigues et al, 2010). The biological tests, especially short-term bioassays on bacteria or higher plants is the best way to detect and estimate the pollution load in any matrices approach (Gana et al, 2008;Mesi and Kopliku, 2012).…”

All sorts of pollution on the planet can be traced back to development of industries and the most important among them is water pollution. Clean technologies, management practices and regular monitoring of effluents could be helpful to minimize the contamination of watersheds. Allium cepa (A. cepa) has been recognized as a promising genetic model to detect the toxicity of industrial wastewater, contaminated soil, river water, nuclear contamination and even for those systems which are considered non toxic. A. cepa is distinguished as a low cost test, easy to handle and sensitive to both in vivo and in vitro models. It offers the detection of damages in genetic material quantitatively and the results can be generalized for other biological and ecological systems. Moreover, the pollutants can be classified on the basis of this test present in industrial effluents and their mechanism of action on genetic material. This review focuses on the studies undertaken to evaluate the toxicity of industrial wastewater, contaminated river and soils.
