This epidemiological investigation examines the impact of several environmental sanitation conditions and hygiene practices on diarrhea occurrence among children under five years of age living in an urban area. The case-control design was employed; 997 cases and 999 controls were included in the investigation. Cases were defined as children with diarrhea and controls were randomly selected among children under five years of age. After logistic regression adjustment, the following variables were found to be significantly associated with diarrhea: washing and purifying fruit and vegetables; presence of wastewater in the street; refuse storage, collection and disposal; domestic water reservoir conditions; feces disposal from swaddles; presence of vectors in the house and flooding in the lot. The estimates of the relative risks reached values up to 2.87. The present study revealed the feasibility of developing and implementing an adequate model to establish intervention priorities in the field of environmental sanitation.
This paper deals with environmental health and sanitation. It outlines the concept of sanitation and environmental health. This paper makes a special note on concept and principles of environmental health in community health promotion and environmental intervention models. This paper examines the human interaction with the environment and its associated factors. This paper concludes with some interesting findings.
The study aimed to identify environmental hazardous that may lead to environmental diseases, the sources, and transmissions of environmental diseases and how to eliminate the presence of the health risk hazardous, control and the spread of environmental diseases.
Sanitation is the hygienic means of promoting health through prevention of human contact with the hazards of wastes; in particular via the treatment and proper disposal of human excrement, often mixed into wastewater, these hazards may be physical, chemical microbiological, biological agents of disease. The study was to assess the knowledge and practice regarding water sanitation and its impact on health among the people in a selected rural community. A survey research design was used to collect data from 200 house holds those who were selected by convenient sampling technique. The result of the study was the knowledge score of people that 50.5% (105) having moderate knowledge, 25% (50) having adequate knowledge, and 24.5% (45) having inadequate knowledge. The mean is 15.05 and standard deviation is 3.23 for knowledge. With regards to practice, 56% (112) were having inadequate practice and 44% (88) were having adequate practice. The mean is 4.63 and Standard deviation is 1.72. The study concludes that most of the people rural community having moderate knowledge and less practice on water sanitation.
Environmental sanitation practices - a case study of solid waste management in kissy bypass Road Freetown, Sierra Leone , 2023
The fast growth of urban areas has resulted in the continuous formation and growth of informal communities. This increase of informal communities has further resulted in the deterioration of the environment, especially water in rivers, lakes and streams due to the lack of infrastructural services such as tap water, sanitation; solid waste management and storm – water drainage systems. It is therefore vital to note how the absence of such services in informal communities can be a negative factor towards achieving a good and sustainable health. Informal communities pose sanitation and health risks particularly to vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and people with suppressed immune systems, and are likely to aggravate gender – related inequalities. The aim of this research is to investigate and determine the knowledge and attitude of Environmental Sanitation Practices: a case study of solid waste management in Kissy Bypass Road community in Freetown, Sierra Leone. This study has argued and provided theoretical and practical evidence that the environmental impact of informal communities on sanitation is an issue that needs attendance in the study area. The study follows both the qualitative and quantitative research approach. A total of 69 households were interviewed. Following data collection, the findings were analyzed by both SPSS and Excel and the result was discussed using frequency table and simple percentage, pie chart and bar charts. The results obtained reveal that the lack of infrastructural services in Kissy Byepass road; such as sanitation facilities, solid waste management and drainage system and most importantly water. It was evident that there is a significant relationship between environmental sanitation problems and human health in informal communities. Respondents were also able to link incidence of diseases to environmental sanitation problems. The community needs to be educated about the importance of a clean and sustainable environment as well as take initiative in taking care of the environment in which they reside; the municipality must provide adequate infrastructural services and/or facilities to minimize pollution. Further research is required to examine the contribution of work environment on solid waste management, whether environmental sanitation problems affects all sectors of the population equally, and to quantify the contributions of specific environmental problems to the disease burden.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) disease is an outbreak of international concern, spreading widely from the first cases in China to now being declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. Governments, organizations, and individuals are adopting structured and precautionary actions to prevent and delay the spread of the infection, for which there is no current vaccine. Actions ranging from flight cancellation, businesses asking workers to stay home, and financial markets realizing exogenous shocks, the global health crisis becomes a global economic crisis. In any health crisis, the utmost concern is the health of those affected. However, there are long-term effects that have economic ramifications even when a single case of the pandemic is not recorded in a country. Before we discuss these ramifications, lets first look at the figures to date. The World Health Organization (WHO) now confirms over 200 countries affected with more than 800,026 cases and more than 38,748 deaths. It could be argued from a health perspective that a recovery rate of over 21 percent point does not seem to be deadly. However, the death rate could be far beyond the actual death figures during the pandemic.
