https://doi.org/10.53555/ejac.v13i1.1187Keywords:
Freshwater pollution; metals and metalloids; microplastics; pesticides and herbicidesAbstract
The effects of anthropogenic pollution on the aquatic organisms dwelling in freshwater ecosystem at global scale. aquatic ecosystem pollution with particular reference to pathogens in water, sediment and fish and their human health concerns. It highlighted the historical perspective of the relationship between microbes and humans This article is based on categories of different classes/sources of pollutants which affect freshwater organism. This is composed of several sections including metals and metalloids, wastewater and effluents, sediments, nutrients, pharmaceuticals, , pesticides, herbicides, and endocrine disruptors.
