Chemical Synonyms, Molecular Structure and Toxicological Risk Assessment of Synthetic Textile Dyes: A Critical Review

Abstract

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.

Study on isotherm, kinetics, and thermodynamics of adsorption of crystal violet dye by calcium oxide modified fly ash

“…Since its inception of use ubiquitously in different industries such as textile, coloring material agents, and pharmaceuticals, it's omnipresent nature. Dyes consider as the most adverse ecotoxicological material [2]. The minute presence of the dye molecules is highly detrimental [3].…”

Metabolization of by-products formed by ozonation of the azo dye Reactive Red 239 in moving-bed biofilm reactors in series

“…The synthetic dyes commonly found in the wastewater of the textile industry emerged in the eighteenth century. It is estimated that currently over 10,000 textile dyes are produced and 800,000 tons of dyes per year are used (Bazin et al 2012;Ayadi et al 2016). In the textile industry, 1000 to 3000 m 3 of wastewater is generated per day for processing 10 to 20 tons of fibers (Ghaly et al 2014).…”

Peptides Fixing Industrial Textile Dyes: A New Biochemical Method in Wastewater Treatment

“…e large-scale production and extensive application of synthetic textile dyes can cause considerable environmental pollution [31], making it a serious public concern. However, due to the toxic nature and adverse effect of synthetic textile dyes on all forms of life [32,33], it is imperative to treat these effluents before rejecting them in the natural environment. Traditional physicochemical treatments (adsorption, coagulation/flocculation, etc.)…”
