THE EFFECT OF BATTERY RECYCLING INDUSTRY SOLID WASTE LEACHATE ON ANTIOXIDANT STATUS OF TRIGONELLA FOENUM-GRAECUM

Abstract

Effect of battery recycling industry solid waste leachate on the growth and antioxidant status of Trigonella foenum-graecum was investigated. Plants have played a crucial role in maintaining human health and improving the quality of human life for thousands of years. Plants were grown in four dilutions of leachate and
the results were compared with the control plants grown simultaneously in the same condition. Enzymic and Non-enzymic antioxidants were analyzed in the coriander leaves. The concentration of Superoxide dismutase, Glutathione peroxidase, Ascorbic acid, Reduced glutathione were studied in the leachate and control growing plants. This study proves that coriander should not be grown in the soil having highest level of battery recycling industry solid waste for maintaining human health and the environment
