Abstract

Water quality is intrinsically linked to human health, and ensuring access to clean and safe water is a fundamental public health goal, Water is essential to human health as it assists with nutrient delivery and digestion. The chemical, physical, and microbiological qualities of water have a substantial impact on the gastrointestinal tract's ability to absorb nutrients. Heavy metals, insecticides, and microbial infections are examples of contaminants that can hinder digestive processes, resulting in nutrient shortages and absorption. Pure, high-grade water can improve the absorption of nutrients and the effectiveness of digestion. This review examines the connection between nutrient absorption and water quality, with a particular emphasis on the effects of water pollution on human health. According to the review, nutrient absorption is greatly impacted by water quality, particularly in groups that are more sensitive. It emphasizes how crucial it is to monitor and control water quality better in order to provide the best possible nutrition and health results. This review synthesizes current research to elucidate the mechanisms through which water quality impacts nutrient absorption and overall nutritional status. It also highlights the public health implications, particularly in areas with inadequate access to clean water, and suggests interventions to improve water quality and support optimal health outcomes. water quality has a significant impact on human nutrition by influencing nutrient absorption, overall health, and hydration. Contaminants in water can interfere with nutrient absorption and cause a range of health issues, ultimately affecting the availability of essential nutrients in the body. Therefore, addressing water quality issues is crucial for promoting optimal nutrition and improving human health. The findings underscore the importance of ensuring access to clean drinking water as a fundamental component of nutritional health and public well-being.

Abstract

Natural compounds are mostly found in medicinal plants that are used to treat various ailments. They are distinguished by their structural complexity and diversity, which span a wide chemical universe and present both benefits and shortcomings to the process of discovering novel drugs. Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are common tropical diseases that impact over one billion people globally. Numerous pathogens, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites, and poisons, are responsible for them. Natural products have always been important in the search for new drugs to treat differents diseases including NTDs. The purpose of this chapter is to provide an update on the evaluation of both the chemical and biological properties of natural compounds that have been extracted and identified from plant sources, and may be utilized as viable candidates for the development of new drugs treat NTDs with lower incidence such as: Buruli ulcer, dracunculiasis, echinococcosis, food-borne trematodiases, leprosy, lymphatic filariasis, parasitics, schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted helminthiases, taeniasis/cysticercosis, trachoma and yaws. This chapter also intends to make a critical review on the chemical analysis of natural products’ structure and classification, biological evaluation of natural products’ antiparasitic, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities. In conclusion, Natural products continue to be a key source of fresh ideas for treating NTDs. Their distinct methods of action and variety of chemicals offer potential for the development of new treatments.

Abstract

Quality water is very important for maintenance of healthy environment, to determine the safety of the water consumed in the environment, pH, Turbidity, electrical conductivity, Alkalinity and hardness of water samples borehole, tap and well were analyzed. The result of the study showed that the pH of the water samples were found to be 6.3borehole, 6.7 tap and 6.8 well water, Turbidity were found to be 0 borehole, 1 tap and 0(NTU) well water, while conductivity were found to be 401 borehole, 635 tap and 556(µS/cm), well water and Hardness were found to be 172borehole, 68 tap and 88 mg/ml well water . The physicochemical analysis carried out the pH of the water were found to be from 6.3 to 6.8 only two of the samples are below the ranges laid down by W.H.O which are sample A and D and in conductivity also two of the samples are above the limit which are sample B and C and for the total hardness all are below the permissible limit by the standard (W.H.O).
