In 2004, lack of access to safe drinking water was responsible for 1.8 million deaths (mostly small children) from diarrhea. That same year, lack of adequate sanitation caused 160 million people to become infected with schistosomiasis, which can cause malnutrition and organ damage. Approximately 1.1 billion people currently lack access to safe drinking water, and 2.6 billion do not have proper sanitation. Environmental hazards increase the risk of cancer, heart disease, asthma, and many other illnesses. These hazards can be physical, such as pollution and food contaminants, or they can be social, including dangerous work conditions and poverty.
