Vermiremediation of allopathic pharmaceutical industry sludge amended with cattle dung employing Eisenia fetida.

The present study aims to vermiremediate allopathic pharmaceutical industry sludge (AS) amended with cattle dung (CD), in different feed mixtures (AS:CD) i.e (AS) 0:100 [Positive control], (AS) 25:75, (AS) 50:50, (AS) 75:25 and (AS) 100:0 [Negative Control] for 180 days using earthworm Eisenia fetida. The earthworms could thrive and grow well up to the AS feed mixture.

Comparing the nutrient changes, heavy metals, and genotoxicity assessment before and after vermicomposting of thermal fly ash using Eisenia fetida.

Fly ash (FA) is available in an unstable state and can be ameliorated by vermicomposting. The different ratios of FA viz (FA, FA, FA, FA, FA, FA) were mixed with another organic waste, i.e.
