Pollutants in water

Pollutants in water consist of a huge spectrum of chemicals, pathogens, and physical chemistry or sensory changes.Various chemical substances are toxic. Pathogens can actually create waterborne diseases in either human or animal hosts. Alteration of water’s physical chemistry contains acidity, conductivity, temperature, and eutrophication.
