What is the affect of drinking poluted water in the human body?

Question

I'm doing a project on the effect of water in the human body and need to know this information, along with any other information you might know or find on the internet.

sources for your information would be awesome, thanks!

^_^

Oh and, is bottled water better than from the tap?

This is me doing my homework, Miss.

I've already found most of the information but these are still keeping themselves from websites.

Haven't you ever heard of asking your superiors for information to help with a project?

This most certainly is the case.

Answer 1

A build up of toxins in the body that will eventually make you sick. Bottled water in not necessarily better because the minerals that your body needs are removed.

Answer 2

It depends what the water is polluted with, check chemical effects on the human body, specifically pesticides. Alos check water born/ water passed diseases such as cholera and typhoid. As for bottled water, most of it is bottles by co.'s that are getting water from a local source that they are reprocessing. Also there is no flouride in bottled water which can cause tooth decay, and cavities.

Answer 3

Look up Waterborne diseases on Wikipedia and sort it from there.

Answer 4

I would suggest that you need to do your own research for your own homework. You don't learn anything by asking others to do your work for you.
