Abstract

An exhaustive study has been done in regard to toxic effect of pulp and paper mill effluents on total chlorophyll content of free floating aquatic macro phytes in different concentrations of waste water at varying exposure duration. The result revealed reduction in total chlorophyll content of exposed aquatic macro phytes at higher concentration of pulp and paper mill effluents.
