Are many diseases that can deliver for the common water? The
worldwide are: salmonellosis, Arsenicosis, diarrhea; SO as cholera,
schistosomiasis, dengue fever and Legionnaire's disease.
Water-borne diseases
Causes can contaminate water
Dead animals, animal and human feces that have some
microorganism, sewage, sludge, chemical and industrial waste plastics. In
recent years the incidence of water as a transmitting agent of disease is
increasing.
In developed countries, 4/5 of all diseases are caused or
waterborne. Because diarrhea is a leading cause of death in developing
countries especially among children.
About 6.1 billion people lack access to potable water in the
world. Some 8.4 billion people lack adequate sanitation. Access to safe water
and adequate sanitation and hygiene are vital to health. Millions of people get
diseases through water and die especially in third world countries.
Water-borne diseases
COMMON DISEASES waterborne
By number of people who suffer around the world include:
Schistosomiasis
According to the World Health Organization (WHO). In the
world more than 246 million people infected with schist soma and helminths,
some 20 million suffer severe consequences of this infection. The most common
form of transmission is through l bathroom and contact with water in ponds with
infected snails that are reservoirs of these parasites. Although esquistosomatosis
usually not fatal if it causes incapacitating fevers and let the weak person to
perform any work.
Malaria
Or malaria is transmitted by a parasite (Plasmodium) that
spread through the bite of the Anopheles mosquito. It affects 500 million
people worldwide and more than a million of these people dies victim of the
disease. A high percentage of the dead are children under five. The most
affected areas are countries such as sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Middle East, and
Latin America.
Diarrheal diseases
Such as cholera. Water and poor sanitation are key to the
transmission of diarrheal diseases factors. These factors cause an estimated
94% d cases 4,000 million cases of diarrhea in the world.
WHO stresses such as children under 5 years are most
affected by diarrhea and represent 90% of annual deaths from diarrheal
diseases. Although progress is being made in many of the affected countries to
improve access to clean water and sanitation, there is still much to do as
there are over 6.1 billion people without access to safe drinking water and
about 8.4 accesses to water sanitation.
Water-borne diseases
The Arsenicosis
The Arsenicosis arsenic poisoning is one of the forms of
contact is through water that has high levels of this substance. In Bangladesh
about 35 million people are exposed daily to high levels of arsenic in drinking
water. This endangers their health and reduces their life expectancy.
The problem comes from the bedrock of the Brahmaputra river
is rich in arsenic. This substance leaks into groundwater reaching the surface
by thousands of tube wells, where people use the water for drinking or bathing.
In addition, these crops are irrigated with arsenic-rich waters and therefore this
dangerous substance in varying degrees.
The presence of arsenic in drinking water has become so high
that the same World Health Organization warned of Bangladesh as the largest
case of poisoning of a population in recorded history.
