The present work includes the study the effect of domestic sewage and industrial effluent on vegetable plant growth and chlorophyll content have been estimated. The effluent is alkaline in nature (pH=9.0), comprises of metals such as Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, Cd, Mn and Cr in trace quantities (< o.1 ppm). The parameter values and chlorophyll content showed in a gradual decline due to effluent concentration. It has been observed that the chlorophyll content at vegetables grown near industrial area. After 20 days there was decline in all the parameters observed. However, at higher concentrations of the effluent, toxic effects were observed from 20th day. The present investigation suggests that the effluent can be used for green vegetable cultivation safely only after proper treatment of effluents.
