River pollution relationship to the national health indicated by under-five child mortality rate: a case study in Malaysia

The trend of global under-five child mortality rate showed a steady decrease at -3.14% per year approaching the United Nations millennium development goals target (-4.0% reduction per year from 1990-2015). This rate is usually inversely proportional to the nations GDP. However, the progress in the r...
