        abstract = {This study was conducted to investigate the level of water contamination in Kalurghat industrial area and Chandgaon residential area of Chittagong city of Bangladesh and its consequences on human health. This was evaluated using a socio-economic survey and experimental analysis. Samples were randomly collected from the rivers of the studied areas. Results of the experimental analysis in Kalurghat industrial areas showed that the maximum recorded value of TDS, dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD) and salinity were 915, 6.3, 36 and 1.3 mg/L respectively, were lower than the recommended limit but temperature, electrical conductivity (EC), pH, and COD were 42 0C, 2063 µS/cm, 8.8 and 212 mg/L respectively, exceeded the limits. On the other hand, for Chandgaon residential area, the maximum temperature, EC, pH, DO, TDS, BOD, COD, and salinity were 20 0C, 873 µS/cm, 4.6, 0.4 mg/L, 416 mg/L, 32 mg/L, 67 mg/L, 0.35 mg/L respectively, were lower than the standard permissible limit. This research also reveals that Diarrhea, Dysentery, Dengue, Skin diseases, Gastric problems are the most common water-borne diseases in Kalurghat industrial area and Chandgaon residential area. Furthermore, gastric diseases are the top problem for Kalurghat residents while skin diseases represent the most prominent in Kalurghat industrial area.},
