Study by Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has revealed a startling public health threat: About 17 million people are at risk of gastrointestinal problems due to excessive sulfate levels in groundwater.

The consumption of groundwater with high sulfate concentration can directly cause diarrhea and dehydration, with elevated risks among infants, seniors, and other vulnerable populations.

The study sheds light on the urgent need to incorporate sulfate into global water safety management practices.
