  1. Microbiological Contaminants in Drinking Water: Current Status and Challenges

    • Water, Air, & Soil Pollution

    • Water is a vital resource to every living thing on the earth. Once the water is contaminated (physically, chemically, biologically, or radiologically), it brought negative impacts to the living thing. This paper provides a brief review of the characterization of biological pollutants in drinking water and their effects on human health.
