Connecticut Water Trails Program Water Trails & Water Pollution Types Of Water Pollution - Microbiological
Microbiological water pollution is usually a natural form of water pollution caused by microorganisms.
Most of these microorganisms thrive in water and fish, land animals and
humans to become ill.
Fish and shellfish can become contaminated and people who eat them can
become ill. Some serious diseases like polio and cholera are waterborne.
Microorganisms such as:
Viruses
Protozoa
Serious diseases such as cholera come from microorganisms that live in
water. These diseases usually affect the health of people in poorer
countries, as they do not have the facilities to treat polluted water.
