Effect of heavy metal toxicity on Zooplankton population based on dyes and printing industries in Jodhpur (Rajasthan)

ABSTRACT

Industrial effluent based on printing and dying factories contain heavy metals. Present study reveals with bioassay test on fresh water zooplankton with special reference to Daphnia magna. Planktons are indicator species for biomonitoring of a few water pollutants. Bioassay experiments were conducted to find out lethal concentration (LC50) values of test chemical CuSO4 and Pb(NO3)2. Sublethal concentration of Cu was tested in the range of .05 to .150 mg/l. Experiment with Pb was conducted at concentrations ranging from .110 to .300 mg/l. Neonates less than 24 h old were used for toxicity test. Mortality was assessed at interval of 24h, 48h and 72h. The LC50 values of Cu for 24h, 48h and 72h to D. magna were as follows: 0.130, 0.080 and 0.074 mg/l respectively.  In case of Pb the LC50 values for 24h, 48h and 72h were 0.250, 0.235 and 0.200 mg/l respectively.

Keywords:   Textile effluent, Heavy metal, Zooplankton, Daphnia magna, Bioassay, Bioindicator.
