Al Sabunchi A.A., Muzakhidul Islam, Baydar Hazim Ali, Al Sabunchi Az.A. DRINKING WATER QUALITY AND ENDEMIC DISEASES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES OF ASIAThe developing countries — Yemen, Iraq, Bangladesh and Syria — are the most typical at ecological-hygiene and demographic problems are studied in this paper. In these countries, about 60% of rural population has no access to safe drinking water, which is the cause of the spread of diseases among the local population. Consumption of drinking water containing chemicals in high concentrations, such as arsenic and fluoride, leads to endemic diseases.Key words: endemic disease, arsenic, fluoride, drinking water.
