Abstract
Boron (B) toxicity in industrial effluents, particularly in produced water (PW), presents significant environmental challenges due to its detrimental effects on plant growth and ecosystem health.This study evaluated the toxicological impact of boron on Vigna radiata (mung bean), a model organism widely used in contamination studies, to better understand its environmental implications.Mung beans were exposed to artificial boron solutions (2-40 ppm) and varying concentrations of PW (5-40%) for 14 days.Observations indicated pronounced toxicity symptoms, including inhibited growth, yellowing of leaves, reduced photosynthetic pigments, and proline accumulation.Notably, mung bean seeds failed to germinate in higher PW concentrations (10-40%), suggesting the compounded effects of boron and other contaminants within PW.These findings highlight the severe ecological risks posed by boron in industrial effluents and underscore the urgent need for innovative and cost-effective treatment strategies to mitigate its environmental impact.
