20. SANITATION
It means maintaining healthy environment and public
hygiene.
Improper sewage and waste disposal leads to water
pollution which causes adverse effect on public health.
Causes most of the diseases spread by oro fecal route.
Human excreta have been implicated in the transmission of
many infectious diseases including cholera, typhoid,
infectious hepatitis, polio, cryptosporidiosis, and ascariasis.
Undernutrition, pneumonia, worm infestations, are also
associated with unsafe water, poor sanitation and hygiene
resulting in reduced physical growth, weakened physical
fitness and impaired cognitive function, particularly for
children under the age of five.
22. DISEASES CAUSED BY POLLUTED
WATER
Diarrhoea
Diarrhoea remains the most prevalent water
related disease in India. It mostly affects
children under the age of 5and often leads to
death.
Diarrhoeal infection is spread through food
and drinking water that has been
contaminated.
Diarrhoea can spread through multiple
viruses that is found in contaminated water.
23. DISEASES CAUSED BY POLLUTED
WATER
Cholera
Thousands of people fall prey to cholera every
year in India.
Cholera is a water related disease, and is
diarrhoeal in nature.
Cholera strikes when one ingests water that is
infested with theVibrio Cholerae bacterium.
Symptoms of cholera include watery bowels and
fever in certain cases.
Cholera can happen to both children and adults
24. DISEASES CAUSED BY POLLUTED
WATER
Amoebiasis (Traveller’s Diarrhea)
One of the most common diseases caused by
water pollution is amoebiasis. Water
contaminated by amoeba can cause infection
to the large intestine as well as the liver.
Symptoms can range from mild to severe
diarrhea with blood and mucus.
25. DISEASES CAUSED BY POLLUTED
WATER
Malaria
Malaria is a disease caused by parasites, which
are spread by female mosquitos called
Anopheles. Mosquitos breed in water, and when
they bite a person infected with malaria, they
can spread the infection to other people.
Symptoms of malaria include fever, headache
and shivering. In severe cases, it can even lead to
complications like pneumonia, severe anemia,
coma and death.
26. DISEASES CAUSED BY POLLUTED
WATER
Filariasis
Filariasis is a parasitic disease and affects people
who live near unsanitary water bodies or
sewages.
Filariasis is spread by mosquitoes that breeds in
fresh and stagnant water bodies and is the host
of the filarial nematode worm.This worm affects
humans and leads to elephantitis.
Filariasis can lead to blindness, and rapid skin
pigmentation and the filarial worms can affects
various parts of the body
27. DISEASES CAUSED BY POLLUTED
WATER
Japanese Encephalitis
Japanese encephalitis is a water related disease
that is caused by the CulexTritaeniorhynchus
and CulexVishnui type of mosquitoes.
These mosquitoes’ favourite breeding ground is
water flooded paddy fields.Therefore, Japanese
encephalitis is majorly found in the agricultural
regions of India.
The symptoms of Japanese encephalitis include
fever, vomiting, headaches and in acute cases,
coma, seizures and finally death.
28. DISEASES CAUSED BY POLLUTED
WATER
Hepatitis A
This infectious disease affects the liver and is
caused by the hepatitis A virus.
It usually spreads by the fecal-oral route, by
ingestion of contaminated water or food, or
by direct contact with an infected person.
Hepatitis A infection is a self-limiting disease
that does not lead to chronic infection/liver
disease.
29. DISEASES CAUSED BY POLLUTED
WATER
Lead Poisoning
Water contaminated with lead coming from
old pipes can cause lead poisoning, one of the
serious diseases caused by water pollution.
Children are at risk since chronic exposure to
this metal can cause a number ofhealth
problems, including organ damage.
This can lead to nervous system disorders,
anemia, high blood pressure, kidney disease
and problems with the reproductive system
30. DISEASES CAUSED BY POLLUTED
WATER
Polyomavirus Infection
The name polyoma refers to the viruses' ability
to produce multiple (poly-) tumors (-oma).
Polyomavirus are tumor viruses that affect
animals and humans.
Polyomavirus infection is caused by two types
of viruses BK and JC virus, which can be
transmitted through different routes, including
food and water (fecal-oral route), sexual contact,
through air, surfaces, blood, etc. Many people
(up to 80%) have antibodies to these viruses
31. DISEASES CAUSED BY POLLUTED
WATER
Polio (Infantile Paralysis)
Poliomyelitis is an acute viral infection caused by
poliovirus, which spreads through the fecal-oral-
route.The virus is passed through water from the
feces of an infected individual.
Symptoms: Most people who get the virus have
no symptoms but in affected individuals, the
virus enters the blood stream and damages the
nervous system, causing weakness and paralysis.
Initial symptoms include fever, headache, and
seizures, followed by paralysis
32. DISEASES CAUSED BY POLLUTED
WATER
Arsenicosis
This condition is caused by chronic exposure
to small amounts of arsenic found in
drinking-water.
Symptoms include painful skin lesions
(keratosis), which can progress into cancer. It
can also affect your lungs, kidneys
andbladder. Millions of people are at risk of
arsenic poisoning from contaminated water
supplies from natural sources
33. DISEASES CAUSED BY POLLUTED
WATER
IntestinalWorms
Parasitic intestinal worms
(helminthes/roundworms, whipworms and/or
hookworms) can be transmitted through
contaminated food and soil contaminated
with human feces.
It is estimated that up to 10 percent of the
population, mostly children, has intestinal
worms that can cause anemia, malnutrition,
or growth retardation
34. DISEASES CAUSED BY POLLUTED
WATER
Trachoma (Eye Infection)
This infection spreads through poor hygiene
and sanitation caused by the lack of adequate
safe water supply. It is more likely to affect
women and children. Approximately 6 million
people with trachoma have developed
blindness. Studies show that providing
people with adequate water supply can
significantly reduce infection rates.
35. DISEASES CAUSED BY POLLUTED
WATER
