Pulp and paper mills generate varieties of pollutants depending upon type of the pulping process being used. This paper presents the characteristics of wastewater from South India Paper Mill, Karnataka, India which is using recycled waste paper as a raw material. The raw wastewater consists of 80-90 mg L( - 1) suspended solid and 1,010-1,015 mg L( - 1) dissolved solid. However, pH varied from 5.5-6.8. The biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand ranged from 200-210 and 1,120-1,160 mg L( - 1), respectively. Aerobic treatment of raw effluent attribute to significant reduction in suspended solid (range between 25 to 30 mg L( - 1)) and total dissolved solid (range between 360 to 390 mg L( - 1)). However, pH, temperature, and electrical conductivity were found superior after treatment. Copper, cadmium, iron, lead, nickel, and zinc were found in less quantity in raw effluent and were almost completely removed after treatment. The dendrogram of the effluent quality parameters clearly indicate that South India Paper Mill does not meet Minimal National Standard set by central Pollution Control Board to discharge in agricultural field.

“…Biological treatment methods involve the utilization of microorganisms including fungi, bacteria and algae, and enzymes, as a single step treatment or in combination with other physical and/or chemical methods (Singhal and Thakur, 2009). Compared with physicochemical ways, biological methods for wastewater treatment are considered to be of cost benefit, eco-friendly, and suitable for reduction of the BOD and COD from the effluents.…”

“…They produce extracellular enzymes and can survive at higher effluent load, compared with bacteria (Singhal and Thakur, 2009;Thakur, 2004). White-rot fungi, such as Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Trametes pubescens (González et al, 2010), are the microbes that degrade lignin/phenolic compounds through the production of enzymes such as lignin peroxidases, manganese peroxidases (MnP) dependent peroxidases, and laccases (Chandra and Singh, 2012;Freitas et al, 2009).…”

“…Phenol and its derivatives induce genotoxic, carcinogenic, immunotoxic, hematological, and physiological effects in fish in receiving waters and have a high bioaccumulation rate along the food chain due to their lipophilicity [26]. The source of sulphate ions in effluent might be sodium sulphite, which is used during the pulping process [27]. Metals in the effluent might be due to their bioaccumulation by plants which are used as raw material as well as from various chemicals used during the paper making process.…”

Pulp and paper mill effluent induced phytotoxicity and genotoxicity in mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) and root tip cells of onion (Allium cepa L.) were investigated. Physicochemical characteristics such as electrical conductivity (EC), biological oxygen demand (BOD 5 ), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total phenols of the pulp and paper mill effluent were beyond the permissible limit specified for the discharge of effluent in inland water bodies. Compared to control plants, seedling exposed to 100% effluent concentration showed a reduction in root and shoot length and biomass by 65%, 67%, and 84%, respectively, after 5 days of treatment. A. cepa root tip cells exposed to effluent concentrations ranging from 25 to 100% v/v showed a significant decrease in mitotic index (MI) from 32 to 11% with respect to control root tip cells (69%) indicating effluent induced cytotoxicity. Further, the effluent induced DNA damage as evidenced by the presence of various chromosomal aberrations like stickiness, chromosome loss, anaphase bridge, c-mitosis, tripolar anaphase, vagrant chromosome, and telophase bridge and micronucleated and binucleated cell in A. cepa. Findings of the present study indicate that pulp and paper mill effluents may act as genotoxic and phytotoxic agents in plant model system.
