The images of Delhi’s Yamuna river filled with floating toxic foam are surfacing all over the internet and raising some serious concerns. These images are enough to shake the environmentalists not only in Delhi but around the world.
The experts mentioned that a large amount of untreated sewage from Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh dumped into the river increases the amount of phosphates and surfactants in river water, which is the main reason behind the formation of this dangerous froth.
There are some harmful implications such as itching and allergic reactions if humans come in contact and if ingested can cause gastrointestinal problems and diseases like typhoid. If the polluted water of industries containing heavy metals goes into the body, it can cause neurological (nervous system-related) problems, as well as an imbalance in hormones, experts revealed.
