 Awareness of
Water Pollution
 What is
Water Pollution?
Water pollution occurs when
harmful substances –
chemicals or microorganisms:
➢ Degrading water quality
➢ Rendering it toxic to
humans or the
environment.
Type of Water Pollution
• Organic Pollution > Microorganisms
➢Bacteria and Viruses - present in the
water, generated by excrement,
animal and vegetable waste

• Chemical Pollution
➢ Nitrate and Phosphates Pesticides,
Household Product (Formaldehyde
and Chlorine)
 Water Quality in
Malaysia
Rapid urbanization and
population growth have
contributed both to an
ever-increasing demand for
water consumption and, at
the same time, to the level
of water pollution in
Malaysia.

Water Quality in Malaysia

➢ Rivers’ pollution is a real problem with more and

more rivers are polluted.

➢ Continuous river pollution will further deplete water

supplies.

➢ Many people are unaware that the water they use

Effect on
Human Health
 ➢ Carbonates and organophosphates
• Cause cancer and damage the nervous system
➢ Chlorides
• Cause reproductive and endocrinal damage. Pesticides

➢ Dangerous to babies that drink formula milk

➢ Restricts the amount of oxygen in the brain Nitrates
and cause the “blue baby” syndrome.

Effect on
➢ Can accumulate in the body and
damage the central nervous system. Lead Human Health
 Effect of Polluted Water on Humans
850 million people don’t have access to clean drinking water.

Dirty water causes the death of a human being every 10s

➢ Water-borne diseases account for the deaths of

3,575,000 people a year
➢ The majority of these are children.

 Muscle Health

➢ Transport nutrients to your cells

➢ Water helps form the structures of
protein and glycogen.
➢ Dehydrated
➢ Muscles will be deprived of
electrolytes and cramp
➢ Strength and control will also be
impaired.
 Glowing Skin ➢ Younger
➢ Brighter

➢ Hydrated will prove to be a far ➢ Healthier

 Regulate Body
Temperature
➢ Dehydration – the loss of water
and salts from our body
➢ These water and salts – helps
cool down your body and
maintain your bodily functions.
➢ Severe cases of dehydration
can even lead to death.

Digestion

➢Reason for constipation is dehydration

➢When there is lack of fluid or water in
the colon to push the bowel forward,
you are bound to be constipated.
➢Complete your daily requirement to
avoid any poop less days.

Advantage
➢Reduces inorganic Disadvantage

➢May reduce some organic pressure

➢Reduces parasites ➢May not effectively remove
all bacteria and viruses
➢Slow and wasteful of water
Carbon Filtration

➢Activated carbon to remove impurities

from a fluid using adsorption.

➢Filtered through several types of filters

Carbon Filtration
Advantage
➢Removing Chlorine
➢Removing particles such as
➢Sediment
➢Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOCs)
➢Removing Odour.
Disadvantage
➢They are not effective at
removing
➢Dissolved Inorganic
Substances
➢Bacteria and Virus
 Alkaline Water
➢ Water purification process to
raise the pH of drinking water
➢ Using electrolysis to separate the
incoming water stream into:
➢ Acidic
2 H2O → 4e− + O2 + 4 H+

➢ Alkaline
2 H2O + 2e– → H2 + 2 OH–

Tap water passes through chambers with

electrodes to split water molecules into ions
Alkaline water
Advantage
➢Allow users to adjust the pH
or dispensed water
➢Claimed to produce water in
small molecular water
clusters that penetrate cell
more easily.
Disadvantage
➢No documentation which
can verify and support the
claims.
➢Cannot effectively reduce
chlorine, organic, or
inorganic contaminants from
drinking water

What we really need is clean water that

free of contaminants, viruses and bacteria.
