Marine Dumping
Litter items such as 6-pack ring packaging can
get caught in marine animals and may result
in death.
Industrial waste
Industry is a huge source of water pollution, it
produces pollutants that are extremely
harmful to people and the environment.
Global Warming
An increase in water temperature can result in
the death of many aquatic organisms and
disrupt many marine habitats. For example, a
rise in water temperatures causes coral
bleaching of reefs around the world. This is
when the coral expels the microorganisms of
which it is dependent on. This can result in
great damage to coral reefs and
subsequently, all the marine life that depends
on it.
1. Human Health
We all drink water that comes from a source: this may be a lake or local river.
In countries that have poor screening and purification practices, people often
get water-borne disease outbreaks such as cholera and tuberculosis. Every
year, there are an estimated 35 million cholera cases and 100,000120,000
deaths due to cholera. (WHO estimates that only 510% of cases are
officially reported.)
In developed countries, even where there are better purification methods,
people still suffer from the health effects of water pollution. Take toxins
emitted by algae growth for instance: this can cause stomach aches and
rashes. Excess nitrogen in drinking water also pose serious risks to
infants. EPAs 2010 National Lakes Assessment found that almost 20 percent
of the nations lakes have high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus pollution.
The report also showed that poor lake conditions related to nitrogen or
phosphorus pollution doubled the likelihood of poor ecosystem health 1.
