The erythrocyte abnormality test was analyzed in kidney cells of freshwater fish, Labeo rohita exposed to tannery industry effluent. The 96h LC50 value of tannery effluent against fish was calculated by Finney method and it comes out to be 7.07%. Three sublethal concentrations on basis of 96h LC50 value (3.53%, 1.76% and 0.88%) were selected. Fishes were exposed to these concentrations for 24h,...

Work in leather tanning involves exposure to a wide range of chemicals. Some of these are carcinogens or suspected carcinogens. Increased risks for a number of cancers have been reported among the tannery workers. In the present review, a detailed account of lung cancer, testicular cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer among tannery workers is mentioned.

In order to better grasp the development and trends of tannery wastewater (TWW) treatment research, this paper provides a review TWW research dynamics based on Web Science (WoS) database using CiteSpace software. The dynamics, hot topics, evolutionary history in field are revealed. results showed that related has shown high growth trend number articles recent years, India was outstanding terms ...

Chromium is abundant in nature and has a dominant presence in most of the effluent streams as compared to other heavy metal ions. The presence of highly toxic and carcinogenic hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in effluent streams is a major environmental issue. The electroplating and tannery industry effluents are the major source for the Cr(VI) production in wastewater streams. The present work dea...

Abstract The tannery industry plays a significant role in the economy but poses severe environmental threat due to its high water and chemical usage, leading wastewater generation with concentration of pollutants. This contains range contaminants created throughout leather manufacturing process, making effluent disposal challenge for industry. tanning process also contributes significantly pH, ...

AbstractBackground In India, it was reported previously about varying prevalence of asthma and chronic bronchitis among leather tannery workers with moderate to high exposures at the workplace be significantly associated asthma. This study intended estimate asthma, tuberculosis, identify risk factors it. Data Methods The data used in this were collected through a cros...

Occupational health and mental health are the interconnected elements of the overall well-being of workers. The objective of the study was to estimate the prevalence and determinants of mental health disorder among male tannery workers. This study uses the GHQ-12 scale to measure the symptoms of mental health disorder among the male tannery workers, who were engaged in this occupation for at le...

We focus on the interaction between a representative polluting tannery and negatively impacted small farmer in Kanpur, India. The produces leather toxic chemical waste that ends up wastewater used by to irrigate agricultural land grow vegetables. generated is functionally related its output of leather. faces capacity constraint describes maximum amount vegetables he can grow. In this setting, w...
