CPH WATER BORNE

● caused by a variety of microorganisms, biotoxins, and toxic contaminants

● spread via contaminated water.
● Transmission of these pathogens occUrs while using infected water for drinking,
food preparation, and washing clothes, among others.

Gastryris (Food and water borne)

Norwalk = Adult

Rotavirus = Children

🦋Most possible cause of water borne is the Inappropriate preparation of water

DIARRHEA (Agent: Escherichia Coli)

● mainly affects children below five years of age

● usually lasts for a couple of weeks and can turn out to be fatal if it goes untreated
● Symptoms: dizziness, dehydration, pale skin and loss of consciousness in severe
case

🦋loss of electrolytes
🦋ORS replinish
CHOLERA (Agent: Vibrio Cholerae, Type O139)

● occurs predominantly in children, but can also affect adults

● possesses a mortality rate that is alarmingly high among the water-borne diseases.
● Symptoms: diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and abdominal cramps

🦋Diarrhea - rice watery stool

🦋Loperamide treatment
TYPHOID (Agent: Salmonella)

● ariadhoGontaginus harterin inmaninora:

budy, affecting many organs.
● Without prompt treatment, it can cause serious complications and can be fatal.
● Symptoms: episodes of fever, loss of appetite, nausea, headache, constipation, and
loss of body weight, vomiting
● Leads to dehydration due to vomiting

🦋Street foods, sample from poops of Chicken eaten from foods.

AMOEBIASIS

● a common infection of the human gastrointestinal tract.

● more closely related to poor sanitation and socioeconomic status than to climate.
● Symptoms: abdominal cramps and watery stools

Protozoans:

Entamoeba histolytica

Entamoeba Coli

Entamoeba dispar

Entamoeba gingivalis - inflammation to gingivitis (from gums)

🦋Sample from street foods sauces

🦋Metronidazole medication
Antiparasitic medications

● Metronidazole medication
● Tinidazole

- Praziquantel (Treatment for parasites)

HEPATITIS A

● mainly affects the liver and is caused by Hepatitis A virus.

● route of contamination is usually oral, while it also spreads through physical contact
with an infected person.
● Symptoms: fever, nausea and vomiting, but can suffer severe complications if they're
not treated in time
Hepeviridae

🦋Hepa C is sexually transmitted while Hepa A is not

TRANSMISSION OF WATER BORNE

● Climate change plays a crucial role in tie outbreaks st such infections.

● Several instances of the outbreak of epidemic infections after natural calamities
such as flood have been recorded in history.
● The overflowing of sewage treatment plants during floods becomes the immediate
risk that needs to be curbed.
 ● the persistent usage of contaminated water for agricultural purposes results in the
colonization of pathogens in the soil.

WAYS TO PREVENT WATER BORNE

● Use good environmental management

● Practice good personal hygiene (thorough handwashing)
● Take food safety precautions
● Drink properly treated water
● Vaccination

PUBLIC HEALTH ANSWER TO COMMON QUESTIONS ON WATERBORNE

> HOW MANY ARE AT RISK?

1.1 billion lack access to an improved drinking water supply; many more drink water that is
grossly contaminated.

> HOW MANY ARE GETTING SICK?

4 billion cases of diarrhea occur annually, of which 88% is attributable to unsafe water, and
inadequate sanitation and hygiene.

> HOW MANY ARE DVING?

1.8 million people die every year from diarrheal diseases, the vast majority children under 5
years old.

> HOW MANY MORE CANNOT ESCAPE POVERTY?

Lack of safe water perpetuates a cycle whereby poor populations become further
disadvantaged, and poverty becomes entrenched.

> HOW MUCH OF THIS CAN BE PREVENTED?

- WHO estimates that 94% diarrheal cases are preventable through modifications to the
environment, in ding through modifications to the environment, including through

interventions to increase the availability of clean water, and to improve sanitation and
hygiene

GLOBAL WATER SANITATION AND HYGIENE (WASH)

Global Wash

- provides expertise and interventions aimed at saving lives and reducing illness by
improving global access t healthy and safe water, adequate sanitation, and improved
hygiene.

The Safe Water System

- protects communities from contaminated water by promoting behavior change and

providing affordable and sustainable solutions.

🦋1998-2018 Started giving clean water

🦋30 countries are provided by safe water
LGU'S ROLE IN WATER-BORNE DISEASE

PREVENTION W/N THE COMMUNITY

Enforce the implementation of the "Code of Sanitation of th@ Philippines" (PD No. 856,

December 23, 1975)

● Ensure access of households to safe drinking water, safe water and sanitation
facilities
● Inspect food establishments on adherence to standards sanitation practices
● Provide training to food handlers and regulate
● Ensure proper waste disposal
● Establish, operate and sustain local epidemiology and surveillance units
