types of samples, even at present they are not usually monitored, due to the
comparatively high charge of analysis and the inadequate number of experts.
Scientists are trying to discover another new emerging contaminants and generating
a huge number of data but very few knowledge about their fate and transport in
water and their effects on organisms making it more complex. Hence regular surveys and monitoring of water resources and waste water resources should be carried
out to acquire an understandable picture of these conventional and emerging contaminants. Actually we know that prevention is better than cure hence public
awareness program should be initiated to alert the population about these traditional
and emerging type of contaminants and their sources so that people will think about
it and make some changes in their lifestyle.
