EFFECT OF TOXIC POLLUTANTS ON HUMANS

Vineeta Singh, None

DOI : 10.9780/22307850, By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Humans have established communities and flourished around sources of clean, drinkable water since the beginning of time. It’s vital to our survival. Water sustains life. Water is needed for food and agriculture development. It is needed for energy, human settlement, industry and ecosystems. In all these areas, the right amount and type of water required is essential. Many sea water animals will not survive for long in fresh water, just as many fresh water animals will not survive in the sea. Humans cannot drink sea water and frankly, because of the high salt content of seawater, we cannot use it in construction, because of the corrosive effect of salt. This means, if we alter the chemical composition of water in anyway, we risk having negative repercussions. This is what makes water pollution so real and critical. We can survive several days without food but not without water? It’s heartbreaking to know that millions of people worldwide do not have access to this most basic need, and are dying of thirst and water borne diseases. Freshwater sources around the world are threatened by water pollution. Not only are we managing our resources poorly through wastage, we are also thoughtlessly dirtying it.
