Question
What diseases can form because of Water Pollution
hello,
water pollution definitely causes a lot of diseases. it can cause skin diseases like itchiness and rashes. i had an assessment of a nearby beach, where domestic wastes are pretty much everywhere, and i felt itchy and sticky for a day. i remember a colleague who went swimming in a polluted pool a few years back and had trips to her OB-GYNE after that. another friend went swimming in a polluted river and had amoebiasis after. my mom ate shrimp from a fishpond full of commercial feeds and was admitted to the hospital the day after for dehydration and LBM.
