Water pollution Effects on Human Body

Water pollution is now a global threat. As we all know earth consist of land and water, one third of the total is of water and rest consist of land. But one third part of water is not the fresh water but rather it is of saline water. We have a very limited source of fresh water which we can use for our domestic purpose or for daily use which is mainly for drinking, but due massive water pollution and heavy water wastage water security has become on the greatest challenge that is being faced by the countries all over the water. 

Human lives are moving fast that it is hard to have a grip, rapid movement in term of commercialization  technology, lifestyle everything is getting advance and fast. This rapid lifestyle is being achieved by rapid destruction of nature. Nature is actually not being used properly rather it is being misused extensively. Tall skyscrapers is being made by destroying forests or trees, factories are being set up at the riverside for easy drainage purpose resulting water pollution causing health disorders, giving birth to some fatal diseases like cancer which is now a tale of every family. Actually we are destroying the entire nature cycle. Dumping industrial wastes is the main cause or the main source for water pollution. Industries or factories are generally set at the bank of the river side for the dumping of the waste product but they are hardly aware of the fact that these industrial wastes release chemicals which are very much dangerous for human and also for the water bodies including plant or animal. Generally factories release sulphur, this non- metallic substance is very much dangerous for the aquatic or marine life and that is many aquatic species is getting endangered. Other chemical included asbestos , which is being considered as the cancer causing element, then we lead and mercury which is a non-dissolving element which greatly affects heath especially skin. Use of chemical fertilizer is also causing water pollution. Generally chemical fertilizer includes nitrates and phosphates, heavy metals like arsenic whish directly seeps to the ground and directly affect the fresh water which badly affects our health badly. It gives birth to chronic liver and pancreatic problem and arsenic cause pancreatic cancer and skin cancer. A fresh water source which includes ponds or rivers, these fresh water recourses is not used properly.Generally our daily use which includes washing, cooking, bathing, we used to do all these homely works to the nearby pond this ultimately results in pollution of water, the terrifying fact is that this water is again being used for drinking purpose, and animals are also drinking that same water. Generally garbage’s are being dumped at the riverside or at ocean which lead to the destruction of the marine life and greatly affects the entire ecosystem, death of the fish. Water pollution affects greatly affects the human health, it is one of the main cause for cancer, water pollution also leads to many health problems and hampers food chain as we consume marine fish and other animals includes oysters naturally if affects our health too. As ground water pollution is getting affected, the water that we are drinking is also getting polluted give birth to health disorders. So we have to be very much conscious regarding the proper and health usage of water and this can only be possible if we understood the importance of water.
