Abstract
Heavy metals such as Chromium (Cr), Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg), Arsenic (As), Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Aluminum (Al), Barium (Ba), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium( Mg), Lead (Pb), Manganese (Mn), Silver( Ag), Sodium (Na), and Selenium (Se) their excess contamination in drinking and irrigation water causes toxicity in living organisms. Their major sources are from different industries as dying, textiles, leather, mining, pesticides, plastic, wood, and pharmaceuticals. The industrial processes release these metals in air, surface water, soil, groundwater, and crops and ultimately target human beings. Groundwater contamination occurs through the anthropogenic activities by man-made products such as gasoline, oil, road salts, mining, pesticides, and fertilizers, etc. discharge into groundwater. Copper, Zinc, and Selenium are heavy metals that are needed in trace amounts for humans. On the other hand, some other metals like Lead, Arsenic, and Mercury are extremely dangerous for human beings even if consumed in small amounts. There is a big challenge to remove heavy metals from drinking water. Different diseases like nervous system damage, kidney failure, blood pressure, hypertension, diabetes, growth inhibition are mostly caused by their contamination in drinking water. Various modern and conventional techniques are used for the determination of heavy metals and water treatment.
Highlights
Drinking water is important that it is the second most essential material for human life
2.5 billion cases are noted from water pollution and rough The important chemical ingredients that present in water are beneficial for human health effect mainly in two ways: Firstly, by providing essential micro and macro elements that food cannot supply in proper amount of these elements; and secondly, by supplying the micro and macro elements that prevents the absorption and toxic effects of elements such as cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg) and Lead (Pb)
Various types of heavy metals are released from different industrial manufacturing processes, such as Cr, Cd, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, and Pb are considered most toxic among them
Summary
Drinking water is important that it is the second most essential material for human life. We know there is no existence of life without water It is so much difficult for the availability of pure water for human use and a day it is a big problem worldwide. 2.5 billion cases are noted from water pollution and rough The important chemical ingredients that present in water are beneficial for human health effect mainly in two ways: Firstly, by providing essential micro and macro elements that food cannot supply in proper amount of these elements (for example zinc, iodine, and Magnesium); and secondly, by supplying the micro and macro elements that prevents the absorption and toxic effects of elements such as cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg) and Lead (Pb). The serious diseases caused by contaminated and poor-quality water are dysentery, cholera, and schistosomiasis, typhoid, and diarrheal diseases [2]
