The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) says more than 300 million people in Asia, Africa and Latin America are at risk of disease due to increased water pollution in rivers and lakes. According to the UNEP report, between 1990 and 2010 there was an increase in pollution of the river that caused the development of the virus to bacteria. Population growth, agricultural expansion, and the increased amount of waste disposed to the river and are the main factors in increasing water pollution. "Water quality issues on a global scale and the number of people affected by bad water quality are far worse than we think," UNEP author Dietrich Borchardt told Thomson Reuters Foundation. In the report it is also revealed, the Asian region has the largest pollution of the river, which is about 50 percent of the river has been polluted. Meanwhile, river pollution in Latin America is 10 percent and 25 percent in Africa. UNEP data shows that at least 3.5 million people die each year due to cholera, typhoid, polio, and diarrhea due to bacterial infections from dirty water. UNEP estimates that currently there are 164 million people in Africa, 134 million in Asia and 25 million in Latin America who are at risk of illness due to poor water or sanitation. According to UNEP, river pollution is a serious problem that can not be realized to be deadly. UNEP recommends good waste treatment. In addition, clean streams should be completely protected from pollution.
