Background Universal access to basic sanitation remains a global challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Efforts are underway to improve access to sanitation in informal settlements, often through shared facilities. However, access to ...
Human urine can be used as fertilizer and technologies, such as alkaline-urine treatment, are being developed to enable easier re-use. There is, however, a risk of pathogens being present in the urine. This hygiene assessment examined inactivation of three ...
What is the goal of a five-day seminar for the (architectural) design of a ‘water and sanitation hub’ in Mali? What does one want to achieve, or rather, what is the seminar meant to ‘disseminate’? To begin with, what is a ‘water and sanitation hub’? It is ...
This study describes seasonal water quality parameters measured in Petrozavodsk Bay, Lake Onego, Russia. Petrozavodsk Bay (PB) lies in the north of Lake Onego and adjacent to the city of Petrozavodsk. PB water quality is controlled by anthropogenic input, ...
Sanitation planning and management is a complex problem, especially in emergency contexts such as refugee camps. Camp 18 of the Cox’s Bazar refugee camp has over 27 000 inhabitants, who have access to 1931 latrines from which the sludge is treated in a cen ...
Infectious disease transmission is frequently mediated by the environment, where people's movements through and interactions with the environment dictate risks of infection and/or illness. Capturing these interactions, and quantifying their importance, off ...
The importance of faecal sludge management is gaining recognition. However, methods are still lacking to reasonably estimate the quantities and qualities (Q&Q) that need to be managed, which makes the planning for and implementing of management solutions q ...
Viruses represent major disease transmitting agents carried by human excreta and animal manure. Understanding virus inactivation is therefore essential in preventing microbial spread due to inadequate treatment of these materials. Here, we investigated the ...
Container-based sanitation (CBS) within a comprehensive service system value chain offers a low-cost sanitation option with potential for revenue generation, but may increase microbial health risks to sanitation service workers. This study assessed occupat ...
Sanitation systems that systematically recover and reuse waste can promote social enterprise, reduce discharge of harmful nutrients, pathogens and other contaminants to the environment, replace synthetic fertilizer sources, and increase access to sanitatio ...
