“…Metal variations in the vegetables between some months may be related to stage of growth, availability of metals to vegetables and the form in which they occur (Kisku et al, 2000). The pattern of accumulation of the elements suggested that there was no seasonal influence on the tendencies of spinach to accumulate the elements (except Cd).…”

One way analysis (ANOVA) was used to analyze a large dataset of elemental levels of two vegetables -spinach (Amaranthus cruentus) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa) grown around River Jakara in Kano, Nigeria using data generated during 12 months of monitoring Ca, K, Mg, Na, (essential bulk elements) Cu, Zn, Cd, Ni, Cr, Co, Pb and Fe (trace/heavy elements) concentrations collected at three designated sites. The concentrations of the elements showed insignificant differences between sites but significant differences between some months. The soil was implicated as the major source of the elements. The concentrations of the trace/heavy metals exceeded those of the international permissible limits which pointed to the contamination of the vegetables. The mean concentrations of the elements occurred in the magnitude of Ca > Mg > K > Na > Fe > Zn > Pb > Co > Cr > Cu > Ni > Cd and Ca > Na > K >Mg > Fe > Zn > Pb > Cr > Co > Cu > Ni > Cd in the spinach and lettuce respectively. The continued consumption of these vegetables by the inhabitants of Kano and its environs present a public health risk with regards to their concentrations with heavy metals. It is therefore recommended that the relevant organ of government should find an alternative farmland for the farmers within the catchment area of River Jakara where unpolluted soil can be utilized for the production of the vegetables.

“…Besides, the heavy metals are non-biodegradable and persist for longer periods in aquatic as well as terrestrial environments thus they can exert detrimental effect on human health and environment due to the toxicity of heavy metals (Maliwal, 2004). Sugar mill effluents when disposed of in to the surroundings cause a severe hazard to the rural and semi-urban populations Kisku et al, 2000). Sugar factory effluent has an obnoxious odour and unpleasant color when released into the environment without proper treatment.…”

ABSTRACT. Sugar mill is one of the agro based industry and great significant in rural economy of developing countries. It creates environmental pollution by produced waste during sugar production. In the present work deals with the analysis of various change of biochemical in African marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) at 15 DAS under the different concentrations (control, 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) of sugar mill effluent. Results of this study determined that the lower concentration (10%) of sugar mill effluent increased photosynthetic pigment and biochemical contents of African marigold and it decreased at higher concentrations of the sugar mill effluent. The lower concentrations of sugar mill effluent used for irrigation.

“…The problem of environmental pollution on account of essential industrial growth is practical terms, the problem of disposal of industrial water, whether solid, liquid or gaseous. All the three types of wastes have the potentially of ultimately polluting water (Barman et al, 2006;Kisku et al, 2000).…”

The physico-chemical parameters of the content in the effluents from Rajasree sugar factory of Villupuram district have been explored and its impact on the germination and growth patterns of black gram varieties has been studied. Physico-chemical parameters included color, odour, pH, temperature, electrical conductivity, suspended solids, dissolved solids, BOD, COD, chloride, sulphate, calcium, oil and grease concentration. Germination studies was conducted with black gram seed varieties (ADT-3, ADT-5, Vamban-3, Vamban-5 and Co-6) treated with different concentrations (control, 5, 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100 % ) of sugar mill effluent. Germination studies parameters such as germination percentage, germination index, shoot length, root length, fresh and dry weight of seedlings were found to be increased up to 10 % concentration of effluent. Vigour index, tolerance index, percentage of phytotoxicity and germination index were also calculated. The above mentioned parameters were decreased with the increase of effluent concentrations (25-100 %).
