Sanitation refers to public healthconditions related to clean drinking water and adequate treatment and disposal of human excreta and sewage.[1] Preventing human contact with feces is part of sanitation, as is hand washing with soap. Sanitation system aim to protect human health by providing a clean environment that will stop the transmission of disease, especially through the fecal-oral route.[2]For example, diarrhea, a main cause of malnutrition and stunted growth in children, can be reduced through sanitation.[3] There are many other diseases which are easily transmitted in communities that have low levels of sanitation, such as ascariasis (a type of intestinal worm infection or helminthiasis), cholera, hepatitis, polio, schistosomiasis, trachoma, to name just a few.
A range of sanitation technologies and approaches exists. Some examples are community-led total sanitation, container-based sanitation, ecological sanitation, emergency sanitation, environmental sanitation, onsite sanitation and sustainable sanitation. A sanitation system includes the capture, storage, transport, treatment and disposal or reuse of human excreta and wastewater.[4] Reuse activities within the sanitation system may focus on the nutrients, water, energy or organic matter contained in excreta and wastewater. This is referred to as the "sanitation value chain" or "sanitation economy".[5][6]
Several sanitation "levels" are being used to compare sanitation service levels within countries or across countries.[7] The sanitation ladder defined by the Joint Monitoring Programme in 2016 starts at open defecation and moves upwards using the terms "unimproved", "limited", "basic", with the highest level being "safely managed".[7] This is partiularly applicable to developing countries.
The Human Right to Water and Sanitation was recognized by the United Nations (UN) General Assembly in 2010. Sanitation is a global developmentpriority and the subject of Sustainable Development Goal 6.[8] The estimate in 2017 by JMP states that 4.5 billion people currently do not have safely managed sanitation.[8] Lack of access to sanitation has an impact not only on public health but also on human dignityand personal safety.
Health and Hygienic Situation: WHO Promotion and Good Practices!
1. ‘Hygiene is a science that deals with the promotion and preservation of health’.
2. The word ‘hygiene’ is derived from the name of the Greek goddess of health, Hygeia. She was the daughter of Asclepius and sister of Panacea. While her father and sister treated the existing diseases, Hygeia was concerned with the preservation of good health and the prevention of disease.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
Hygiene is the science of preserving and promoting the health of both the individual and the community. It has many aspects—personal hygiene (proper living habits, cleanliness of body and clothing, healthful diet, balanced regimen of rest and exercise); domestic hygiene (sanitary preparation of food, cleanliness, and ventilation of the home); public hygiene (supervision of water and food supply, containment of communicable disease, disposal of garbage and sewage, control of air and water pollution); industrial hygiene (measures that minimize occupational disease and accident); and mental hygiene (recognition of mental and emotional factors in healthful living).
The World Health Organization promotes hygienic practices on an international level:
1. Hygiene is the maintenance of healthful practices. In modern terminology, this is usually regarded as a particular reference to cleanliness. Outward signs of good hygiene include the absence of visible dirt (including dust and stains on clothing) or of bad smells. Since the development of germ theory of disease, hygiene has come to mean any practice leading to the absence of harmful levels of germs.
2. Good hygiene is an aid to health, beauty, comfort and social intercourse. Good hygiene directly aids in disease prevention and/or disease isolation. (That is, if you are healthy, good hygiene will help you to avoid illness. If you are sick, good hygiene can reduce your contagiousness to others.)
