Environmental Health Engineering in the Tropics: Water, Sanitation and Disease Control: Earthscan Water Text
Autor Sandy Cairncross, Sir Richard Feachemen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 noi 2018
The infections described include the diarrhoeal diseases, the common gut worms, Guinea worm, schistosomiasis, malaria, Bancroftian filariasis and other mosquito-borne infections. The environmental interventions that receive most attention are domestic water supplies and improved excreta disposal. Appropriate technology for these interventions, and also their impact on infectious diseases, are documented in detail.
This third edition includes new sections on arsenic in groundwater supplies and arsenic removal technologies, and new material in most chapters, including water supplies in developing countries and surface water drainage.
