Abstract: 
Every industry produces waste pollutants that can cause harm to the environment. Consistent contaminants into the environment affect human health and ecosystems. While these environmental consequences can be monitored through chemical and technological approaches, its effect on living organisms creates another approach. Both plant and animal bioassays have shown promising results to monitoring pollution especially with observing early effects. These biological wastewater treatment processes provide an imperative low cost option to underdeveloped countries because preserving the environment takes every part of this world. This paper will cover the various bioassay methods and its results and feasibility in different industries.
