As the name suggests, polluted water may spread diseases that are known as "waterborne," such as parasitic disorders. It is vital to note that some germs and viruses can spread through polluted water as well. Waterborne infections, particularly diarrhoeal diseases, are a major problem across the world, but they are particularly concerning in impoverished nations where access to clean drinking water may be a problem. They are a major worry during natural catastrophes when access to clean drinking water may be hampered.
Drinking, swimming, taking a bath, or consuming freshly prepared food that has been washed in contaminated water are the major ways that water can get polluted. When it comes to parasites, cysts of protozoan parasites or eggs or larvae of helminths are more likely to pollute water than the adult stage of the parasite. Microscopic freshwater insects that are able to be consumed with the water may also have eggs or larvae. The presence of infected human or animal faeces close by is typically the root of the parasite contamination of water. In rare circumstances, polluted soil coming into touch with the water supply might potentially cause pollution. The majority of aquatic parasites, with a few notable exceptions, are categorised as intestinal parasites and induce gastrointestinal symptoms.
