Fungi Contamination of Drinking Water
Drinking water sources contain different kinds of biological pollutants, such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi. Recently, researchers have reported the presence of fungi in drinking water (Goncalves et al. 2006a; Pereira et al. 2010), and have observed that these fungi affect the taste and odor of the water. A wide variety of fungi species have been isolated from drinking water. Some of these species are known to be strongly allergenic (e.g., causing skin irritation), or may cause infections in immune-suppressed individuals (e.g., those suffering from AIDS, cancer, asthma or other respiratory diseases, or recovering from organ transplants) (Hageskal et al. 2009; Green et al. 2003).
