water pollutant

Water pollutants are substances that contaminate water, making it unsafe for drinking, swimming, or supporting aquatic life. These pollutants include chemicals from industries, agricultural runoff like pesticides and fertilizers, sewage, and waste from households. They can cause health problems, harm ecosystems, and degrade water quality. Detecting and controlling water pollutants is essential to protect public health and the environment. Effective waste management, treatment processes, and pollution regulations help reduce how much harmful substances reach our water sources.
