The risks of polluted water

PETALING JAYA: Unscheduled water disruptions caused by pollution could pose health risks to consumers, say water conservation groups.

Referring to such water cuts which had happened of late in the Klang Valley, Association of Water and Energy Research Malaysia (Awer) president S. Piarapakaran said there were several ways pollutants could enter the human body, with the highest risk of exposure being through the inhalation of chemicals.
