Which of the emerging public health issues related to water do you believe will have the most impact on the future of safe drinking water?

It is important to maintain a clean home and clean self because 1)_ We can make use of soap and detergent to make cleaning much 2)_ than using plain water. Soap and detergent are different ,4). 5) and aspects like in 3) 6). In making 7) natural materials are used like animal fats and vegetable oils, while in making 8) synthetic materials are used. 9) is more effective in hard water because there is no formation of scum or film. However, 10). is more environment friendly since it is biodegradable. We can attain good cleaning results when we try to alter these three energies namely, 11)_ 12) and 13) 14). can lower the surface tension of the t oun water while 15) can reduce water hardness.

I just did an acute toxicity experiment using treated and non-treated effluents with daphnia magna and my mortality rate was higher in the treated effluent. My question is why is treated pulp effluent more harmful than non-treated pulp effluent on daphnia magna? If possible please provide links for references, this is not an easy topic to find.
