ABSTRACT
Pakistan currently faces an acute shortage of water,
which has increasingly been devastating for the past few decades. In order to
mitigate water scarcity, agriculture sector of the country started using
wastewater discharged from various industries. The present study aims to assess
the impact of fertilizer industry effluent on Jatropha curcas L. and Pongamia pinnata L., which are
popular biofuel tree species. Initially, one-year-old saplings were
acclimatized in pots, then wastewater was applied in diluted concentrations of
effluent using 20 and 40 mL L-1 to the treatment group while control
plants were irrigated with tap water. The physico-chemical properties of the
effluent showed high values 179 mg L-1 for biological oxygen demand
(BOD), 257 mg L-1 for chemical oxygen demand (COD) and 1200 mg L-1 for total dissolved solid (TDS), respectively. Surprisingly, high
concentrations of arsenic (15 µg L-1) and cadmium (0.78 mg L-1
) were present but chromium (Cr) concentration was found within
permissible limit to WHO. The levels applied caused a significant
(p≤0.05) increase in plant growth and biomass. The extent of membrane
damage assessed
via malondialdehyde (MDA)
production was also greater in the roots of P. pinnata while reverse was true for shoots of J. curcas
. A more profound (p≤0.05) reduction in photosynthetic pigments
and carotenoids was observed in
P. pinnata at
concentrated level of effluent. Overall, the study signifies a 2-folds
potential of biofuel tree species for efficient reuse of wastewater, as well as
for remediation of metals from wastewater and soil.

ABSTRAK
Pakistan baru-baru ini menghadapi kekurangan air yang
teruk dan ia semakin teruk sejak beberapa dekad yang lalu. Bagi mengatasi
kekurangan air, sektor pertanian di negara ini mula menggunakan air buangan
yang dikeluarkan daripada pelbagai industri. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menilai
kesan efluen industri baja pada Jatropha curcas L. dan Pongamia
pinnata L. yang merupakan spesies pokok
bahan api biologi yang terkenal. Pada mulanya, anak pokok berusia satu tahun
diaklimat dalam pasu, kemudian air sisa limbah digunakan dalam kepekatan efluen
yang cair dengan menggunakan 20 dan 40 mL L-1 pada kelompok rawatan
manakala tanaman kawalan diairi dengan air paip. Sifat fisiko-kimia efluen
menunjukkan nilai yang tinggi masing-masing sebanyak 179 mg L-1 untuk permintaan oksigen biologi (BOD), 257 mg L-1 untuk permintaan
oksigen kimia (COD) dan 1200 mg L-1 untuk jumlah pepejal terlarut
(TDS). Anehnya, kepekatan arsenik (15 µg L-1) dan kadmium (0,78 mg L-1
) yang tinggi hadir tetapi kepekatan kromium (Cr) dijumpai dalam had
yang dibenarkan kepada WHO. Tahap yang digunakan menyebabkan peningkatan
(p≤0.05) pertumbuhan tanaman dan biojisim yang ketara. Tahap kerosakan
membran yang dinilai melalui pengeluaran malondialdehid (MDA) juga lebih besar
pada akar
P.
pinnata manakala sebaliknya berlaku untuk
pucuk J. curcas
. Pengurangan
pigmen fotosintesis dan karotenoid yang lebih mendalam (p≤0.05)
diperhatikan pada
P. pinnata pada tahap efluen yang
pekat. Secara keseluruhan, kajian ini menunjukkan potensi spesies pokok bahan
api biologi sebanyak 2 kali ganda untuk penggunaan semula air buangan yang
berkesan, serta untuk pemulihan logam dari air buangan dan tanah.
