Abstract

The rapidly growing industrialization along with an increasing population has resulted in the accumulation of a wide variety of chemicals. Mismanagement of industrial effluents has resulted in polluted groundwater, streams, lakes and rivers as well as damage to wildlife and vegetation. Meanwhile, high levels of toxic contaminants have been found in animals and humans, Thus, the frequency and widespread use of man-made "xenobiotic” chemicals has led to a remarkable effort to implement new technologies to reduce or eliminate these contaminants from the environment. Effluent discharge practices in India are too crude and society is in danger, especially in the industrialized part of the cities. The aim of biological treatment of industrial effluents is to remove or reduce the concentration of organic and inorganic compounds.
