dc.description.abstractEnvironmental pollution from food or related industries via effluent discharge is a global threat to plants and animals and may ultimately threaten the quality of human. The present study aimed at evaluating the dangerous effect of industrial effluent on the toxicity and morpho-anatomical deformations of Corchorus olitorius and Senna occidentalis. The study was a split plot complete randomized design with two factors, each comprising of four treatments and three replicates which lasted for a period of three month. Treatment details include T0 = Tap water (control), T1= 25% pollutant + 75% tap water, T2= 50% pollutant + 50% tap water, T3= 75% pollutant + 25% tap water, T4= 100% pollutant. The result showed that a significant concentration of nickel, copper, lead, cadmium, chromium and iron were detected in the pharmaceutical effluent while copper, lead, cadmium, chromium, iron and mercury were detected in the soap and detergents effluent. A significant inhibition was observed at 100% concentration of the seedling growth parameters (stem length, leaf size, number of leaves and root length) in both Corchorus olitorius and Senna occidentalis while a significant reduction in leaf size was observed with increasing concentration of the industrial effluents. Anatomically, there was no difference in the epidermal cell size and the effluents increased some stomatal parameters such as stomatal density at 25% and 50% concentrations and decrease from 75% and 100% effluent concentration. It also increases the stomatal index and size at high or low concentrations. This study has shown that the two industrial effluents contained some harmful pollutants which are dangerous to life of the plants, adversely affected germination, growth and development at higher concentrations than lower concetrations, they also modified several anatomical structure in the leaf epidermis of Corchorus olitorius and Senna occidentalisen_US
