Indians frequently are unaware that local governments and community members are ultimately responsible, for safeguarding their communities from diseases linked to wastewater. Despite the fact that local governments and individual homeowners are often responsible, for ensuring that environmental and health standards are consistently maintained, state and federal legislation do set baseline requirements.
What diseases can you get from wastewater?
Diseases caused by bacteria
Numerous wastewater-related illnesses, such as typhoid, paratyphoid, bacillary dysentery, gastroenteritis, and cholera, are caused by bacteria, which are minute creatures. Similar symptoms that range in severity are present in many of these disorders.
The majority can produce symptoms like headache, diarrhoea (occasionally with blood), abdominal cramps, fever, nausea, and vomiting by infecting the stomach and intestines. Symptoms may appear hours to days after intake, depending on the type of bacteria implicated.
· Typhoid
Typhoid fever is a leading cause of waterborne disease outbreak-related deaths, in this nation at the turn of the century. This extremely contagious disease is now all but gone thanks to water and wastewater treatment, but it is still an issue in many parts of the world.
Fever, constipation, appetite loss, nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, and an abdominal rash are among the common typhoid symptoms.
· Cholera
Another watery bacterial illness that used to cause recurrent outbreaks was cholera. Particularly in places where people live in close quarters without access to clean water or bathrooms, cholera spreads swiftly. People eating tainted seafood also causes outbreaks.
Diseases caused by viruses
Microscopically small parasitic organisms are viruses. They can only be seen under an electron microscope and are smaller than bacteria. Some can spread disease via wastewater. Since, wastewater is a hostile environment for viruses, they are unable to grow outside of their hosts. However, enough viruses can endure in water to infect humans.
Viruses in wastewater can cause a number of diseases, including hepatitis A, polio, and viral gastroenteritis. One of the most common illnesses is assumed to be viral gastroenteritis.
Raw sewage may contain up to 100 different virus kinds, although, it might be challenging to distinguish them.
Wastewater Parasites
Most Indians weren't particularly concerned about parasites in their drinking water, until lately. But in recent years, epidemics of the protozoans responsible for the diseases giardiasis (produced by the protozoan Giardia lamblia), and cryptosporidiosis (induced by the protozoan Cryptosporidium) have garnered widespread media attention.
Protozoans and helminths are two forms of parasites that can be discovered in wastewater (parasitic worms). Protozoans can multiply inside the body and produce mild to severe diarrhoea, when people consume water that has been tainted with them. Amoebiasis, commonly known as amoebic dysentery, is brought on by another protozoan called Endamoeba histolytica.
