Comprehensive Characterization of Textile Effluents from Tiruppur: A Strategic Outlook of Environmental Burden and Scope for Sustainable Management

Author(s) Ms. Jayashakthi R. V., Dr. Asha B.
Country India
Abstract Tirupur, one of India’s most prominent textile manufacturing hubs, has gained global recognition for its knitwear production. However, the region's rapid industrialization has led to severe environmental challenges, particularly concerning the generation and discharge of untreated textile effluents. These effluents, laden with a mixture of organic, inorganic, and synthetic chemical compounds, have emerged as significant pollutants affecting local water bodies and ecosystems. This study presents a detailed characterization of the textile effluents such as physical, chemical, and biological parameters of the wastewater generated from the various processing units in Tirupur and explores the environmental and health risks posed by these discharges. Using an atomic adsorption spectrophotometer (AAS), analyses showed high levels of turbidity (NTU), specific conductivity, potential hydrogen (pH), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total dissolved solids (TDS), and toxic heavy metals such as lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), and zinc (Zn). The current treatment approaches, mainly comprising conventional methods such as sedimentation and biological oxidation, are often ineffective due to the complex nature of the effluent. The findings emphasize the urgent necessity for sustainable wastewater management systems and effective policy enforcement to mitigate the ecological degradation in and around Tirupur.
Keywords Atomic adsorption Spectrophotometer (AAS), Heavy metals, chemical oxygen demand (COD), and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), Textile effluents, Zero liquid discharge (ZLD).
