Heavy Metal Pollution in Water and its Toxicity
Received Date: Sep 02, 2022 / Published Date: Sep 28, 2022
Abstract
Water is essential for life, yet in modern India, water contamination is the biggest concern. Numerous heavy metals, some of which may be harmful, are transported to the nearby water environment via a variety of routes. Growing industrial development, urban development, E-Waste, wastewater irrigation, and sewage have all contributed to a serious problem with water quality. When compared to national and international organisations like the WHO and USEPA, the quantities found were higher above the maximum permissible and recommended limit. Developmental retardation, neurotoxicity, kidney damage, many malignancies, liver damage, lung damage, brittle bones, and even mortality have all been related to chronic and acute exposure to heavy metals. The impacts of contaminated water on human health are discussed in this article.
