Abstract
Aims of the studyTo carried out the phyto-chemical constituents of Ricinus communis Linn. growing in a highly polluted and non-polluted sites. MethodThe industrial effluent was analysed by APHA method. The phyto-chemical constituents were analysed by Cromwell, 1955 & Trease and Evans, 1983 were followed. TLC was analysed by WHO, 1998. Chlorophyll was estimated according to Arnon, 1949. ResultsThe physico-chemical parameters of analysed effluent were found higher values as compared to standard values. Colour reaction tests showed the degree of changes in plants of polluted sites. The number of spots were decreased in the plant samples of polluted sites. Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll were decreased in those leaves which were collected from polluted sites. ConclusionIt may be concluded that the plants growing at non-polluted areas are not suitable for quality medicines, since, the study reveals quantitative alternations in the chemical constituents of plants growing in industrial areas and other parameters also found declining values in plants collected from polluted area.
