Industrialization and human activities have totally turned our environment to dumping sites for waste materials
1. Introduction Industrialization and human activities have totally turned our environment to dumping sites for waste materials. As a result, many water resources have been rendered unwholesome and hazardous to man and other living systems (Bakare et al. 2003). The toxic substances discharged into water bodies are not only accumulated through the food chain (Odiete 1999), but may also either limit the number of species or produce dense populations of microorganisms (Okafor 1985). Pollution of the surface and underground water wastes is widespread, thereby rendering them unsuitable for man’s use (Ajayi & Osibanjo 1981; Kakulu & Osibanjo 1992; Odiete 1999; Bakare et al. 2000; Bakare & Oyedeji 2001; Bakare et al. 2003). In addition, since many industries lack effluent treatment plants, the untreated wastes are either deposited on the ground or discharged into nearby natural water bodies (Chukwura & Okpokwasili 1997; Odiete 1999). Industrial effluents are wastes generated by the industry during the process of drugs manufacturing. Here we identify and isolate microorganisms from effluent of the industry and also measure the quality of effluent treatment plant of ACME Laboratory. ACME Laboratories produces almost 400 products and The ACME Agrovet & Beverage Ltd, savar, manufacture fruit juice, mineral water and many more. Discharges waste material in reservoirs situated within the area of the industry. ACME Laboratory an industry producing (amoxicillin, ampicillin, cephalexin, cloxacillin, flucloxacillin). The waste disposal of this industry contains of a range of chemical substances including methylene chloride, isopropyl alcohol, pivalic acid, triethylamine, small amount of amoxicillin and its degradation products, ethanol acetone Cephalexin and its degradation products, ethyl acetate, methyl ketone and small amount of cloxacillin its degradation products. (Susan et al 1989, Golam Mahammed, 2005).
