About
Hi! My name is Abeeha Atif and my project at Polygence is on the relationship between water and how it affects the health of people, in broader terms. I chose this project due to the flooding that happened in Pakistan in 2022, which led to the contamination of water, affecting the health of many people. Furthermore, I also chose this project as a broken filtration plant in an area near me. This has worsened the health of multiple residents living in that area. After this project, by sharing my research, will see plausible ways in which I can help people identify clean water. This will hopefully reduce the strain on their health and help them intake water from only clean water sources.Projects

Started Feb. 5, 2024
Abstract or project description
This project will be covering mainly the water quality in the areas of Islamabad. It will consist of sampling water from various sites in Islamabad and testing it for purity. The water will be sampled to pinpoint where the contaminated water lies that causes major health issues to people. Sampling will be done with the help of sampling kits provided by PCRWR, and then the water will be tested at PCRWR with different parameters. This will then help to find the mainly contaminated water and consequently help improve the public's health. This project will then be turned into a research paper and submitted to a journal, so that it may help many people. It will aid people to realize the sources of water not suitable for drinking and therefore save them from many diseses.
