ABSTRACT:
Any change in the physical, chemical, and biological properties of water makes it unfit for consumption. Currently, the main sources of groundwater pollution in India are water from domestic, industrial, and agricultural sources, which enter and contaminate the groundwater mainly through soil leaching. As India's industry continues to expand, pollution from groundwater exploitation and groundwater depletion are becoming an issue. Chemicals and road salts, air pollutants, contaminated soils, heavy metals, acidification, landfills, microbial contaminants, pesticides, and nitrate contamination from groundwater, sewage, wastewater, and septic tanks are the major groundwater pollution problems in India. The same elements of inorganic contaminants: are aluminum, nickel, arsenic, barium, cadmium, dissolved particles, iron, lead, and zinc—potential health problems. Organic contaminants - Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, plasticizers, chlorinated solvents, dioxins, pharmaceuticals, and antibiotics are present in water and affect its quality. Drinking contaminated water can cause kidney damage, liver damage, cancer, skin damage, skin inflammation, weight loss, nervous system damage, respiratory problems, etc. problems for healthy people. This review is to identify the Major Groundwater Contamination Problems in India and their Potential health problems.
