True jaundice comes from the reddish-yellow bile salt, bilirubin. Unusually high concentrations of this compound in the body cause yellowing, or jaundice. Jaundice is typically diagnostic of liver failure. As such, jaundice itself does not spread by touch. However, if an infectious disease has attacked the liver and thus is the root cause of the jaundice, that infection may be transmissible by touch.

What is the organism which causes Yellow Jaundice called?
There isn't a single organism that causes "yellow jaundice." Jaundice is a symptom, not a disease. It occurs when bilirubin builds up in the body, causing the skin and eyes to turn yellow. If you're referring to infectious jaundice, the most common organisms are: Hepatitis A virus (HAV) – Spread through contaminated food or water. Hepatitis E virus (HEV) – Also spread through contaminated water and a common cause of jaundice outbreaks in areas with poor sanitation. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) – Spread through infected blood and certain body fluids. So, there is no single organism called "yellow jaundice." The most common organisms responsible for infectious jaundice are the Hepatitis A and Hepatitis E viruses, especially during community outbreaks.
What type of pollution can cause out break of jaundice?
Jaundice itself is not caused directly by pollution, but water pollution can contribute to outbreaks of jaundice by spreading infections that affect the liver. For example: Contaminated drinking water can spread hepatitis A and hepatitis E viruses, which are common causes of jaundice, especially during outbreaks. Poor sanitation and sewage contamination of water supplies can also increase the risk of these infections. Food prepared with contaminated water can spread the viruses as well. To help prevent jaundice caused by these infections: Drink clean, safe, or boiled water. Practice good hand hygiene. Eat properly cooked food. Maintain proper sanitation. Get vaccinated against hepatitis A where recommended. In short, water pollution and poor sanitation are the types of environmental pollution most commonly linked to jaundice outbreaks, particularly those caused by hepatitis A and E.
