Human Health Risks due to Exposure to Water Pollution: A Review

Water, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(14), P. 2532 - 2532

Published: July 10, 2023

Water resources are crucial in developing any area as they serve a major source of potable, agricultural, and industrial water. contamination, caused by natural anthropogenic activities, poses significant threat to public health globally. This review synthesizes data from various studies published national international journals, well reports governmental non-governmental organizations. Our primary objective is understand previous research on water pollution, contamination types, the effects health. pollution generally involve scientific understanding biological, chemical, physical processes that control movement contaminants underground environment. The nature severity consequences vary based several factors, including chemical composition, duration exposure, concentration pollutants. work highlights human risks associated with current topics such anthropogenic, geogenic, microplastics, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals. A section remedial measures mitigation strategies included emphasize sustainable approaches conservation, replenishment, sustainability. However, there lack comprehensive knowledge regarding distribution, toxic effects, different sources contamination. thus establishes links between multiple their toxicity health, risk assessment.

A Review of the Status, Effects, Prevention, and Remediation of Groundwater Contamination for Sustainable Environment

Water, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(20), P. 3662 - 3662

Published: Oct. 19, 2023

Most water systems that support ecosystems and feed humans are depleted or stressed. Aquifer characteristics, topography, subsurface activities, climate, geochemical processes regulate groundwater availability, a reliable source of fresh water. Globally, agriculture, industries, the domestic sector three major sectors consume vast quantities freshwater resources. Further anthropogenic such as soil leaching, acid rain, fertilizer, pesticides, mining, other industrial resulted in release organic inorganic pollutants affected global In India, is used huge quantities, resulting depletion 1 to 2 m year. Low-income countries face many issues related pollution, availability safe minimal. 2019, deaths due unsafe sanitation accounted for 2.2% total deaths, amounting 1.2 million people’s deaths. India recorded 6.6% 2019. China around 90.41% 60.4% utilization agricultural purposes, respectively. 2020, utilized nutrients (nitrate phosphate) crop growth enhance yield, highest nitrate phosphate concentrations groundwater. Remediating contaminants from different sources requires knowledge their concentration, behavior, cycling, degradation pathways. According safety guidelines, limiting optimizing pesticide waste disposal, empty container disposal can reduce contamination. The present study summarized various sectors, potential contamination impacts on human health environment, preventive measures, mitigation methods overcome pollution.

Determination of Nonylphenol in a Highly Sensitive Chemiluminescent Immunoenzyme Assay of Natural Waters

Applied Sciences, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(5), P. 1685 - 1685

Published: Feb. 20, 2024

A competitive chemiluminescent immunoenzyme assay (CL-EIA) technique is proposed for the sensitive determination of one environmentally significant toxicants anthropogenic origin-nonylphenol—in natural waters. The chosen detection characterized by a higher sensitivity compared to colorimetric. limit nonylphenol was 9 ng/mL 55 colorimetric in optimal conditions. developed analysis can be used two purposes; it highly possibility toxicological and dilution complex matrices with raw buffer solution, as well water samples without pretreatment dilution. method has working range from 28 1800 ng/mL. degree revealing spiked river, spring, waterfall 82–119%.

Water Pollution's Global Threat to Public Health : A Mini-Review

International Journal of Scientific Research in Science Engineering and Technology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 321 - 334

Published: Dec. 1, 2023

Water resources are essential for a region's development, serving as primary source of drinking water, agriculture, and industry. However, water contamination from natural human activities is global public health threat. This review consolidates data various studies reports to comprehensively examine pollution's impact on health. Over 80% untreated sewage released into bodies, causing environmental pollution contributing over 50 diseases. Poor quality responsible diseases 50% child deaths worldwide. The varies regionally by age gender. paper aims clarify the link between health, including association with diarrhea, skin diseases, cancer, Diarrhea most common waterborne illness, primarily transmitted aquatic enteroviruses. Exposure heavily polluted increases risk can affect through source, treatment, distribution water. Prominent carcinogens include arsenic, nitrate, chromium, trihalomethanes. To mitigate these risks, governments must strengthen management, implement measures improve reduce adverse

The Influence of Carbon Nanotube Functionalization on Water Contaminated by Diesel and Benzoic Acid: A Comparison of Two Case Studies

Inorganics, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12(9), P. 238 - 238

Published: Aug. 29, 2024

This article simply aims to compare two case studies concerning the purification, using carbon nanotubes, of water contaminated by following different common pollutants: benzoic acid and diesel. In particular, aim is highlight how natures both polluting molecules nanotubes play a fundamental role in treatment. These pollutants were taken into consideration because their chemical natures: polar pollutant, while present diesel are substantially nonpolar. The used functionalized nonfunctionalized. Functionalization process that allows for introduction functional groups onto surface nanotubes. this research, carboxylic functionalization was performed, which allowed insertion through attacks with sulfuric nitric acids. Thanks results obtained, it possible quantify optimization purification depending on types considered. exhibited greater performances treatment compared nonfunctionalized ones.
