A critical review on textile dye-containing wastewater: Ecotoxicity, health risks, and remediation strategies for environmental safety

Textile dyes are becoming major environmental pollutants worldwide. Generally, they are discharged from textile industries into aquatic systems, which serve as primary sources for entire ecosystems, ultimately affecting human health. Thus, it is crucial to know the potential adverse consequences of textile dye exposure on phytoplankton, fauna, terrestrial entities and humans in the environment. This study provides an assessment of the appropriate publications, from which it can be demonstrated that textile waste can affect the life cycle of living organisms by disrupting growth and reproduction. In particular, various aquatic bodies become targets of textile wastewater. The impact of these dyes and its…
