Impacts of Textile Dyes on Health and the Environment and Its Remediation
Summary
This book chapter examines the health and environmental impacts of textile dyes and reviews remediation strategies as part of Indonesia's post-pandemic waste and pollution management development. The chapter situates textile dye remediation alongside membrane technology, biochar industry, and microplastic management within a broader national development outlook.
COVID-19 has disrupted all aspects of human life. To mitigate the impact of the pandemic, several efforts have been taken, including by Indonesian scholars abroad. This book entitled Indonesia Post-Pandemic Outlook: Environment and Technology Role for Indonesia Development explores environment and technology issues and topics related to the COVID-19 pandemic and discusses post-pandemic recovery efforts in Indonesia. Comprising of 19 chapters, this book is divided into four sections. The first section, disaster and greening management development, discusses insights for a better solution in disaster prevention and development of greening management. Second, waste and pollution management development, explores options in development of waste and pollution management such as potentials uses of membrane technology, remediation of textile dyes, biochar industry, and also discussion on persistent organic pollution and microplastics. Third, food defense and security development, explores the potentials of food security and management in utilizing the potential of coastal sand marginal land resources, IoT and smart packaging, and smart food supply chain. The last part, human resource and public service development, discuses developments on management of education system, public transportation, e-government, and health information system. We hope that this book can be a valuable reference for stakeholders, policymakers, as well as society to recover from the pandemic crisis and find better solutions to benefit future generations.

The Use and Potential of Membrane Technology for Wastewater Treatment in Post-COVID-19 Pandemic
This review examines the use and potential of membrane technology for wastewater treatment in the context of Indonesia's post-COVID-19 recovery, positioning it alongside other pollution management approaches including microplastic control and textile dye remediation. Researchers found membrane technology to be a promising component of an integrated post-pandemic waste and pollution management strategy for Indonesia.
Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in Indonesia
This book chapter reviews the presence and management of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in Indonesia as part of a broader post-pandemic environmental recovery framework that also encompasses microplastic pollution, membrane technology, and biochar industries. Researchers examined how Indonesia's existing regulatory and remediation infrastructure for POPs intersects with emerging plastic pollution challenges.
Recent Advances in the Remediation of Textile-Dye-Containing Wastewater: Prioritizing Human Health and Sustainable Wastewater Treatment
This review examines how the textile industry is a major source of wastewater containing harmful dyes and chemicals that threaten water quality and human health. It evaluates sustainable treatment approaches including bio-adsorbents, membrane technology, and advanced oxidation processes for cleaning textile wastewater and recovering useful materials.
Environmental Impact of Textile Materials: Challenges in Fiber–Dye Chemistry and Implication of Microbial Biodegradation
This review examines how the textile industry contributes to environmental pollution through both chemical dye waste and microplastic fiber release. Synthetic fabrics like polyester and nylon shed non-biodegradable microfibers during manufacturing and washing, while the dyeing process generates contaminated wastewater. The paper highlights microbial biodegradation as a promising and cost-effective approach to breaking down both textile waste and the microplastics it produces.
Addressing the Impacts of Textile Industries on Environment and Socio- Economic Condition of Bank Town and Baraigram Area: a Management Perspective
Not a microplastics paper — this study documents the environmental and public health impacts of textile industry effluents on communities and waterways near factories in Bangladesh, focusing on toxic chemical discharge, worker health risks, and the inadequate use of wastewater treatment infrastructure.
