Loom-dye effluent discharge has constituted a major environmental threat to the people of Belkuchi Upazila of Sirajganj District. The present study was conducted to characterize loom-dye effluents and investigate their health implications by the growth analysis of rice and red amaranth seedlings along with a survey study among the individuals associated with loom-dyeing, weaving, and crop farming activities. A total of twenty-eight loom-dye effluent samples were collected for physicochemical characterization; among them, only three loom-dye effluents, i.e. pink, violet, and black dyes, at concentrations of 0, 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100% were applied as irrigation water to rice and red amaranth. The plant growth experiment was laid out following a completely randomized design with three replicas. Chemical analyses of loom-dye effluents showed the presence of a significant amount of plant nutrients and heavy metals. The mean concentrations of Pb, Cd, Cr, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu were 0.938, 0.046, 0.212, 7.109, 0.609, 0.351, and 0.191 mg L⁻¹, respectively. Among the metals, the concentrations of Pb, Cr, Fe, and Mn were above the recommended limit proposed by the irrigation water guideline value. Application of ≤ 25% pink and violet dye effluent and ≤ 10% black dye effluent had significant (p < 0.05) and positive impacts on growth and yield parameters. Heavy metal content in seedlings increased with increasing effluent application rate and crossed the utmost permissible limit at higher concentration. Survey data discovered a moderate knowledge level among the respondents, which might account for the indiscriminate discharge of loom-dye effluent into the surrounding environment. Attitudes, practices, and protective behaviours of the respondents also reflect the caused for long-term pollution through loom-dye effluents. To reduce its negative effects on the health and crop environment, the loom-dye effluents should not be discharged indiscriminately and used for crop irrigation without proper treatment. Furthermore, training programs ought to be introduced to educate the individuals involved in the discharge and subsequent use of loom-dye effluents.

织机染料的排放已对Sirajganj地区的Belkuchi Upazila人民构成了主要的环境威胁。本研究的目的是通过对水稻和红色a菜幼苗的生长分析以及与织机染色，织造和农耕活动有关的个体进行调查研究来表征织机染料流出物并调查其健康影响。总共收集了28个织机染料流出物样品，用于理化特性分析。其中，仅将三种浓度分别为0、10、25、50、75和100％的织机染料流出物（粉红色，紫色和黑色染料）用作灌溉水，用于水稻和mar菜红。按照三个重复的完全随机设计进行植物生长实验。织机染料流出物的化学分析表明，存在大量的植物养分和重金属。Pb，Cd，Cr，Fe，Mn，Zn和Cu的平均浓度为0.938、0.046、0.212、7.109、0.609、0.351和0.191 mg L^-1。在金属中，Pb，Cr，Fe和Mn的浓度高于灌溉水准则值建议的推荐限值。≤25％的粉红色和紫色染料废水和≤10％的黑色染料废水的施用显着（p <0.05），并对生长和产量参数产生积极影响。幼苗中的重金属含量随着污水施用量的增加而增加，并在较高的浓度下越过最大允许极限。调查数据发现，受访者的知识水平中等，这可能是织机染料废水不分青红皂白地排放到周围环境中的原因。被调查者的态度，行为和保护行为也反映了织机染料流出物造成长期污染的原因。为了减少其对健康和农作物环境的不利影响，不应随意排放织机染料废水，并在未经适当处理的情况下将其用于作物灌溉。此外，
