“…Emami paper mill at Balasore produces about 100 tons of paper everyday utilizing waste papers and a considerable quantity of paper mill waste as byproduct in Balasore, Odisha. de Andrde et al (2019) has suggested economically and eco-friendly utilization of industrial landfill sludge by its amendment in soil instead of dumping in landfill due to high cost of landfills and loss of valuable plant nutrients essential for improved growth of sunflower and sorghum. Efforts were made earlier by different researchers for utilizing solid wastes of different paper mills either for producing porous bricks (Rajput et al 2012) or using as cheap adsorbent materials for removing oil (Kok 1983), grease (Lowe et al 1988), cellulose (Eifling and Ebbers 2006), etc.…”

Purpose Huge quantity of paper mill wastes are dumped at the outskirt of factory as unwanted materials. Vermicomposting is an eco-friendly technique for beneficial conversion of different biodegradable/organic wastes into useful organic manure utilizing earthworms. Solid wastes generated in paper mills contain appreciable quantity of organic matter. Attempt was made for bio-conversion of Emami paper mill wastes with different numbers of Eisenia fetida (5-30 earthworms/2 kg substrate) for studying its influence on vermi-conversing time and quality of prepared vermicompost. Method Vermicomposting was carried out in trays following heap method and quality of final product was determined following both chemical analysis and bioassay on wheat seedlings. Results Application of more earthworms up to 20 numbers per 2 kg substrate made bio-conversion quicker but further addition of earthworm, however, delayed the process as some earthworms came out of beds and died probably due to competition for food among earthworms inside beds. Ten earthworms per kg paper mill wastes-saw dust-cow dung mixture (1:0.5:0.5 weight wise) was found as optimum earthworm population for preparing quality vermicompost having more major and secondary plant nutrients. Bioassay of this manure on wheat seedlings also confirmed the analytical findings. Conclusion It is confirmed that earthworm population in vermibed played vital role in faster decomposition of paper mill wastes and releasing of more nutrients, which ultimately helped in better growth of wheat seedlings. Successful demonstration of vermicomposting technique will encourage local farmers for beneficial utilization of paper mill wastes in their agriculture.

“…The germination percentage (%G) is the proportion, expressed as a percentage of germinated seeds to the total number of viable seeds (675) that were tested by using the formula of Bahira et al [17], Equation (1). The plant growth height was measured periodically.…”

“…This indicated that Cr is persistent in soil environments, and this is a source of concern. de Andrade et al [1] stated that the risk that could be associated with Cr(VI) amendment in soils may involve the chance of Cr persistence in soil and accumulation in plants that may eventually enter into the food chain. The concentrations derived were used to assess the transfer of Cr pollutants from soil to plants' portion using pollution indices, such as BF and TF, as monitoring tools for pollution effect on edible vegetables grown in Cr contaminated sites.…”

“…Generally, industrial activities tend to generate a wide range of wastes, which have the potential to impact the ecosystems negatively and also lead to high-costs of treatment when such wastes are discharged to unprotected environments [1]. In developing countries, environmental laws on waste management and waste disposal are either non-existent or ineffective where they do exist [2].…”

This study reports on the assessment of the growth potential of five edible vegetables, which were grown in Cr(VI) spiked soils. The vegetable plants that were used in this study were Vigna angularis, Cicer arietinum, Spinacia oleracea, Amaranthus dubius Thell and Phaseolus vulgaris. Dried ground samples from roots, stems and leaves were analysed for various oxidation states of Cr. The daily intake of chromium, hazard quotient (HQ) and hazard index (HI) methods were employed to assess the potential human health risks posed by these Cr oxidation states through vegetable consumption. The results showed that Vigna angularis was the only vegetable that germinated in highly concentrated Cr(VI) in the simulated soil (456 mg/kg). The highest total chromium (ChT) bioaccumulated in the roots was found in Phaseolus vulgaris at 0.8. The highest ChT translocation factor in the stem was that of Cicer arietinum and Vigna angularis at 0.30. The same plants translocated the highest ChT to the leaf at 0.7. A child or an adult consuming such contaminated Cicer arietinum vegetables were likely to take in between 508 and 785 mg/day of ChT, which are above the World Health Organisation guidelines of 220 and 340 mg/day, respectively. The highest HQ was found in Cicer arietinum at 8.7 and 13.4 for adults and children, respectively. The same species of plants also had high HI at 17.4 and 27.2 for adults and children, respectively. This indicated that consumers of the edible vegetables grown in Cr(VI) rich soils may be exposed to health risks, and the children were more likely to be vulnerable to these adverse effects than the adults.

The vegetable plants that were used in this study were Vigna angularis, Cicer arietinum, Spinacia oleracea, Amaranthus dubius Thell and Phaseolus vulgaris. Dried ground samples from roots, stems and leaves were analysed for various oxidation states of Cr. The daily intake of chromium (DIC), hazard quotient (HQ) and hazard index (HI) methods were employed to assess the potential human health risks posed by these Cr oxidation states through vegetable consumption. The results showed that Vigna angularis was the only vegetable that germinated in highly concentrated Cr (VI) in the simulated soil (456 mg/kg). The highest bioaccumulation factor of CrT in the roots was found in Cicer arietinum at 3.5 ± 0.51 mg/kg DW. The highest translocation factor in stem was that of Cicer arietinum and Vigna angularis at 1.0 ± 0.00, while Cicer arietinum and Spinacia oleracea translocated highest Cr to the leaf at 2.1 ± 0.21. A child or an adult consuming such contaminated Cicer arietinum were likely to take in between 508 -785 mg/kg/day of total Cr which were above the World Health Organisation guidelines of 220 and 340 mg/kg/day, respectively. The highest HQ was found in Cicer arietinum at 8.7 and 13.4 for adults and children, respectively. The same species of plants had also high HI at 17.4 and 27.2 for adults and children respectively. This indicated that consumers of the edible vegetables grown in Cr (VI) rich soil may be exposed to health risks and the children were more likely to be vulnerable to these adverse effects than the adult.
