One of the most significant sources of daily hardship and grief that the world's people presently face is contaminated water. The need to disinfect water in the world is indisputable. 

Consider that waterborne diseases are the cause of approximately: 
 Half of all deaths of children in the developing world; 

	4.6 million deaths among children and adults;
	80% of all illnesses in the developing world;
	One billion cases of illness at any one time;
	50% of all hospitalizations.

Some of the major health symptoms associated with drinking contaminated water include: skin rashes, vomiting, headaches, breathing difficulties, blindness, stomach and intestinal pain, chronic dysentery (diarrhea) and lesions of internal organs.

	The continued exponential growth in human population has created a corresponding increase in the demand for the Earth's limited supply of freshwater.
	Thus, protecting the integrity of our water resources is one of the most essential environmental issues of the 21st century.
	Recent decades have brought increasing concerns for potential adverse human and ecological health effects resulting from the production, use, and disposal of numerous chemicals that offer improvements in industry, agriculture, medical treat ment, and even common household conveniences.
	Research has shown that many such compounds can enter the environment, disperse, and persist to a greater extent than first anticipated.
	Some compounds, such as pesticides, are intentionally released in measured applications. Others, such as industrial byproducts, are released through regulated and unregulated industrial discharges to water and air resources.
	Household chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other consumables as well as biogenic hormones are released directly to the environment after passing through wastewater treatment processes (via wastewater treatment plants, or domestic septic systems), which often are not designed to remove them from the effluent.
	Veterinary pharmaceuticals used in animal feeding operations may be released to the environment with animal wastes through overflow or leakage from storage structures or land application. As a result, there are a wide variety of transport pathways for many different chemicals to enter and persist in environmental waters.
