Abstract
Aims of the study
To carried out the Histo-Pharmacognosy study of Chenopodium album Linn. under the influence of Bicycle Industry Effluent.
Method
The industrial effluent was analysed by APHA method. The anatomical studies of plant were carried out according to Metacalf and Chalk, 1950 were consulted; for chemical analysis Johanson, 1940, Cromwell, 1955 & Trease and Evans, 1983 were followed. TLC was analyzed by WHO, 1998.
Results
The physico–chemical parameters of analysed effluent were found higher values as compared to standard values and morphological & anatomical parameters were found in decreasing trend in polluted plant samples as compared to non-polluted plant samples. The colour reaction tests showed only degrees of changes. The number of spots were decreased in the plant samples of polluted sites. Water and alcohol extractive values were found to be lowered collected from polluted areas. Ash values were comparatively higher in polluted plant samples. Stomatal index and Palisade Ratio were lower in polluted leaves. Vein Islet Number and Vein Termination Number were higher in polluted leaves.
Conclusion
The conclusion of this study is that the plants from non-polluted area should be collected for quality production of medicines, since majority of parameters reflect decreasing data values in the plants taken from polluted area.
