Water being an essential resource for maintaining life, but can also be a vector of disease when it contains products dangerous to the health of the living beings that consume it. In Haiti, work has been carried out in the field of physicochemical quality of water tracing pollutants such as: lead, chromium, fluorine. Excessive concentrations of hardness have also been observed in water resources.
Indeed, Haiti is characterized by a largely rugged terrain, the main element of which constituting these mountains is limestone. Fragmentation is one of the characteristics. Depending on the abundant presence of limestone in Haitian geology and various anthropogenic actions, researchers were able to observe the generation of water hardness. These environmental imperfections associated with precarious socio-economic conditions and anthropological actions raise questions about possible chemical and metallic pollution of the country's water resources.
Therefore, the following study was carried out with the aim of analyzing the influence of geology and anthropological actions in the alteration of water quality, to review the toxicology of the chemicals detected in water distributed in Port-au-Prince.
