While there has been substantial research on fluoride and heavy metals, less has been done on pollutants like nitrate, salinity, and the lack of sanitation. This book focuses on the increasing threats to health from harmful pollutants in water, a vital resource for all life. Divided into four sections, the volume presents a comprehensive exploration of diverse health issues related to water contamination. It draws from the expertise of environmentalists, medical practitioners, educationists, and economists to examine problems such as pesticide pollution, heavy metal contamination, the health impact of fluoride, nitrate, and salinity, as well as sanitation issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith numerous empirical studies and field-based case studies, this book offers a holistic view of the state of water quality and its effect on health. It aims to bring attention to the alarming situation of unsafe water, urging academics, policymakers, and the public to take strong actions to protect both human health and ecosystems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSection I: Pesticides and Health\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2.
