Pathogenic pollution is a form of water pollution caused by waterborne pathogens that are disease causing such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoans. These are transmitted to humans when they consume untreated or inaquately treated water. Its not practical to test water for all organisms it might contain, instead, water is examined for a specific type of bacteria that originates in large number in human and animal excreta (E. coli).
