| Diseases from water pollution are rampant throughout the world, and not just in the industrialized areas. All kinds of dangerous agents are transported on the water ways. Such diseases include Typhoid, Cholera, Paratyphoid fever, and Bacillary Dysentery. These diseases are well-known throughout the world. For example, outbreaks of Cholera in Africa or Typhoid ragin in Asia are all on the news. Viral infections can also commonly occur; for example, Infectious Hepatitis, Poliomyelitis, and Jaudice. These are one of the most dangerous results of water pollution that can end up erradicating entire communities in a year. Amoebic dysentery is on of many examples of Protozoal infections that are water-borne from polluted sites. |
