1.4.1 Health Impacts

Оглавление

No health‐based guideline value is suggested by WHO (2011), however Cl concentration exceeding the 250 mg/L may lead to a noticeable taste (WHO 2011). But it has been reported that high salinity in irrigation water can damage the crops, affect the plant growth, reduce the soil fertility, and deteriorate the water quality. High chloride may harm the aquatic life through leaf burn, defoliation in sensitive crops, and disturbing the oxygen distribution in water, as well as increasing the metal concentration in water, although health‐related issues are not critically observed yet. However, high sodium water can pose heart disease and high blood pressure, predominantly in vulnerable entities.
