Abstract

The requirement for various rural households to identify emerging pollutants has resulted in a paradigm shift toward health-related concerns. Due to poor sanitary conditions, low-income people have unintentionally aided in environmental degradation. In this paper, the health status of individuals was assessed using statistical analysis of data gathered from regional households in Karnataka. A sample of Water, Wastewater, Solid-Waste Management and Indoor Air Pollution parameters of house circumstances prevalent in the study area. The emerging pollutant has been identified for each category, pointing to 'Poverty' as the primary cause of deteriorating rural household conditions. The study's findings revealed a strong relationship between pollution and poor health in the low-income population. According to the authors, this investigation will help the government's Swachh Bharat Mission.
