Reduction Efficiency of Index Pathogens in Dry Sanitation Compared with Traditional and Alternative Wastewater Treatment Systems

Bad water, sanitation and personal hygiene combinedglobally considered as the second major threats to human health. Poor water supply, sanitation, and personal hygiene accounted for 2.6 million deaths and 93 million DALYs in 1990. These were considered the top 2 of risk factor groups for the total global burden of disease. It is therefore of importance to define the efficiency of different treatment and exposure barriers to safeguard against disease transmission.
