ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT OF ORGANIC DYES AND REAGENTS ON WATER BODIES
Keywords:
organic dyes, wastewater, aquatic ecosystems, environmental impact, toxicity, biodegradation, water pollution, azo dyes, wastewater treatment, ecological assessmentAbstract
The increasing discharge of industrial wastewater containing organic dyes and chemical reagents has become a significant environmental concern worldwide. These substances are characterized by high chemical stability, resistance to biodegradation, and potential toxicity, which contribute to their persistence in aquatic ecosystems. The presence of dyes in water bodies not only alters physical parameters such as color and transparency but also disrupts biological processes, including photosynthesis and oxygen exchange. Moreover, many organic dyes, particularly azo compounds, exhibit carcinogenic and mutagenic properties, posing risks to both aquatic organisms and human health.
This study focuses on the environmental assessment of the impact of organic dyes and associated reagents on water bodies. It examines the sources, behavior, and ecological effects of these pollutants, as well as the effectiveness of existing treatment methods. Special attention is given to the complexity of dye-containing wastewater and the challenges associated with its purification. The analysis highlights the need for integrated assessment approaches combining chemical, biological, and technological methods to ensure accurate evaluation and effective mitigation of environmental risks. The findings contribute to a better understanding of pollutant dynamics in aquatic systems and support the development of sustainable water management strategies.
