Description:In spite of the recent surge of interest in health issues, the impact of water on health has not elicited much attention in academia. Though fluoride and heavy metals have been fairly researched, literature on nitrate and salinity is scant, and lack of sanitation and its resultant impact on health still remains underresearched. One of the reasons for this can be attributed to the existence of diverse forms of contaminations and the variety of risks attached to each one. The present volume focuses on growing threats to health from detrimental pollutants in the water. Divided into four sections, the book includes a variety of diverse ideas to take a holistic view of the issue. Contributors include environmentalists, medical practitioners, teachers, and economists. Containing a wide array of empirical analyses and field level case studies, this volume is an interesting and useful compendium of issues on topics such as: pollution caused by pesticide and heavy metals; the health impact of contaminants like fluoride, nitrate, and salinity; and the lack of safe drinking water and sanitation. The book seeks to inform academics and policy makers about the alarming situation and strong actions that need to be taken to save human life and the ecosystem.
