How
does the poor drinking water effect the human life in sindh province
Answers
Answer:
Reports that costs of premature deaths and illnesses caused by environmental health risks in Pakistan’s Sindh Province equal 10% of Sindh’s GDP, with more than 40,000 people dying in 2009 from environmental health risks, nearly half from inadequate household water, sanitation, and hygiene, nearly one-quarter from outdoor air pollution in urban areas, and over one-quarter from household air pollution, road traffic noise, and road traffic accidents. Children comprised about 55% of total deaths (mostly under five years of age), and adults 45%. Deaths from environmental risk factors represent 18% of all deaths, and deaths among children under five represent 30% of all under-five child mortality. Environmental health risks also cause millions of cases of illness, injuries, and children with reduced intelligence. Inadequate water supply, sanitation, and hygiene remain the most pressing environmental problem, followed by air pollution, and lead exposure. Road traffic noise and accidents have substantial costs, particularly in urban areas.
