The impact of the by-product gypsum on the morphology, phytochemistry and antibacterial activity of Scoparia dulcis L. has been studied. The gypsum and control site soils were subjected to analysis and the high incidence of abnormalities noticed in the plant species could be taken as a pointer to define the environmental hazards caused by industrial pollution.
