Climate change impacts on water borne illnessesNational Institute of Environmental Health Science, NIH

• Droughts can cause increased concentrations of effluent pathogens, overwhelming water treatment plants and contaminating surface water

• Changes in ocean and coastal ecosystems, including changes in pH, nutrient and contaminant runoff, salinity, and water security, can degrade fresh water

• Increased frequency of intense extreme weather events can cause flooding of water and sewage treatment facilities

• Indirectly, the lack of water can cause crop failure, malnutrition, starvation, population displacement, and resource conflict

• Changes in the distribution and concentrations of chemical contaminants in coastal and ocean waters through release of contaminants previously locked in polar ice sheets, or in runoff from coastal and watershed development

• Among several suggestions for global mitigation is
