ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to look into the prevalence of liver illness in Greater Noida, India's rural district, with an emphasis on the effects of lifestyle choices and ground-water contamination. A survey was carried out with 30-40 families in order to collect information on sources of drinking water, health issues, and behaviour. The findings showed that contaminated groundwater from a neighbouring factory is connected to dangerously high incidence of liver illnesses, such as hepatitis, jaundice, fatty liver and different form of cancer. In addition, the issue is exacerbated by harmful habits like smoking, drinking alcohol, and chewing tobacco. It draws attention to the pressing need for public health initiatives to deal with these problems, encouraging healthy living, and increase accessibility to clean water. This study provides a comprehensive case study while examining the relationship between lifestyle factors and waterborne liver disorders in the rural village of Greater Noida.
