Recent advances have been recorded in the tanning industry with biotechnology in principle playing a very important role through related applied research. This review paper demonstrates that a previously tagged tanning sector as the most hazardous can be resolved through adoption of cleaner technologies, waste management and remedial measures that can be put in place. Pollution is depicted stepwise along the leather processing phases with a selected xenobiotic and contaminants identified such as Sodium chlorides, Chromium, Sulphates, Chlorinated phenolics etc. As an interventionist strategy, biological tools using novel techniques of investigation are shown including the aquatic ecosystems. Remedial methods using known threshold in an identified tannery in Kenya is used to comprehend how to scale down the pollutants eventually. However it is recognised that though phytoremediation potential exist, it will require a combination of several other recently developed methods to provide a much firmer basis of controlling pollution loads related to the tanning Industry.

“…For instance, earthworms Lumbricus terrestris can fasten the wound healing process due to its regenerative properties (Cikutovic et al, 1999). However, the interference of chloride compounds in membranes of macrophage inhibited cellular function and suppressed the healing capability of the earthworms (Goven et al, 1993;Ville et al, 1995;Giggleman et al, 1998). Also, sea cucumber (gamat) species, Holothuria glaberrima, is another example of invertebrates in wound healing.…”

Acute wound cases are increasing every year. Meanwhile, current treatments have many adverse impacts; thus, alternative treatment is required. Marphysa moribidii; a local polychaete is found to has a promising potential as a wound-healing agent due to its regenerative capability. However, no prior study has been conducted to prove this notion. Hence, this study is aimed to determine the effectiveness of aqueous extract of M. moribidii in wound healing treatment. The polychaete was finely pulverized and lyophilized by freeze-dryer to form a powdery-form extract before preparing in three different concentrations: 0.3% (w/w), 1.0% (w/w), and 2.0% (w/w) in ointment form. The treatments including Gamat oil 0.4% (w/w) as control were applied to the rat model once daily for 14 days. Gamat oil (0.4%) demonstrated the most rapid wound healing, followed by polychaete ointment (0.3%). However, based on Masson’s trichrome staining, the polychaete ointment exhibited the most collagen deposition compared to other treatments. The staining indicates a more effective healing process of the wound after treated with the polychaete ointment. Based on the findings, polychaete extract has great potential in wound healing; more detailed studies are needed to gain more evidences.

“…Earthworms are obvious target organisms for environmental studies. In recent years, earthworms have been used extensively in ecotoxicology to evaluate the consequent of spread contaminants present in soils [6]. In this aspect, coelomocytes and immunological end points such as phagocytosis have been demonstrated as sensitive biomarkers for trace metal monitoring [7].…”

An altitude based study was undertaken in the present investigation to find out the status of ecological indices of earthworms in turn to assess the fertility of the soil. Evidences are ample to prove that the physico chemical factors of the environment /soil are responsible for greater ecological indices of earthworms. In the present investigation also it was proved that the earthworm abundance is responsible for the soil fertility for which supportive studies were made on 1. the population dynamics of earthworms, 2. Size of body pores on the skin of earthworms and the secretion of coelomic fluid and the 3. Physico chemical factors of the soil in the area surveyed. It was also found that the earthworm abundance was found to be greater in Meghamalai hills of Theni district compared to that of Sirumalai hills of Dindigul district but when the plains and hills of both the district were compared the earthworm population was found to be more in the plains. Atomic force microscopic studies were also made to measure the size of the body pores of the skin of earthworms of plains and hills. It was found that the number of body pores is more and their size is also larger in the earthworms of plain lands. As a result ceolomic fluid secretion was more. The coelomic fluid contains more than forty proteins and exhibits several biological activities and it supplements the soil with nutrients. Moreover, physical parameters of the soil samples of hills and plains such as rainfall and temperature and chemical parameters such as Ec, p H , Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Zinc, Copper, Boron, were found to be conducive for the growth and multiplication of earthworms in the soil of the plain lands than the hills. Hence, it can be concluded that the earthworm population has got its influence on soil fertility; the more the number of earthworms, more availability of coelomic fluid, which indirectly influences the fertility of the soil, enhances the economy of the nation and the world at large. In total the global worming suppresses global warming.
