One of the oldest and most technologically complex industries is textile processing. This industry's crucial strength originates from serious areas of strength for its base of a different scope of filaments/yarns going from normal to manufactured strands and synthetics. Worldwide, there is a significant issue with pollution as a result of the expansion of textile mills and the wastewater they produce. The environment and human health are both put at risk by a great deal of the chemicals used in textile wet processing, such as dyes and auxiliary chemicals. The textile industry's global environmental issues typically revolve around water pollution brought on by the use of toxic chemicals during processing and the discharge of untreated effluent. Due to the presence of hydrosulfides, textile effluent reduces oxygen concentrations and prevents light from passing through water bodies, both of which are harmful to the water ecosystem. As a result, the primary focus of this review is on the physical-chemical treatment parameters that are taken into account during the primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment processes for textile effluent.

Material creation structures one of the most contaminating enterprises around the world. However, in addition to having negative effects on the environment, chemical waste products like formaldehyde and thiazolinone pose a threat to human health due to their potential to cause allergies. Most of the time, people get contact dermatitis when they touch textiles. Additionally, the majority of non-eczema variants are associated with textiles. In vivo and in vitro methods, such as patch testing or cytokine detection assays, can be used to determine whether a patient has an allergy to these substances. Freshest exploration centers around clinical materials, for example, articles of clothing or stitches to help in finding, treatment and recuperation of the patients. With the release of oxygen and growth factors, antimicrobial dressings and sutures offer improved properties. The state of the art in the field as well as perspectives for the future will be discussed in this review. These perspectives are based on smart textiles, which will become increasingly important and likely widespread once the current limits are exceeded.
