Rice husk, wood, cellulose, fibers, and waste papers are the main materials used for paper production. The paper production process is a water exhaustive process as large quantities of water are required in the production of paper. As a result, the water discharged from the paper industry is contaminated with trichlorophenol, trichloroguicol, dichlorophenol, dichloroguicol, pentachlorophenol, dibenzo‐p‐dioxin, and benzofuran, which are responsible for increases in BOD and COD, and suspended solid (SS) level, which, if entering the human body through the food chain, can lead to reproductive problems and cancer (PrintWeek India 2018).
