Estimation of involuntary excreta ingestion rates in farmers during agricultural practices in Vietnam
Objectives
We studied the influence of different additive materials (lime, and rice husk) and aeration conditions on Ascaris lumbricoides egg die-off in 24 vaults of an experimental excreta storage unit.
Methods
Excreta samples were collected once every two weeks over a 181-day period. Tempera...

Ascaris lumbricoides egg die-off in an experimental excreta storage system and public health implication in Vietnam
Objectives
The aim of this paper was to assess the diarrhea risks caused by various pathogens among those exposed to biogas wastewater through different activities.
Methods
Application of quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) of biogas wastewater was conducted in Hanam Province, Vietna...
BACKGROUND: Despite the potential health risks of wastewater and excreta use as fertiliser in agriculture, it is still widespread in Vietnam. However, the importance of diarrheal risk in adults' associated with the combined exposures to both excreta and wastewater use in agriculture is largely un...

Diarrhoeal diseases among adult population in an agricultural community Hanam province, Vietnam, with high wastewater and excreta re-use
Poor wastewater management that results from a lack of appropriate sanitation infrastructure contributes to increasing health risks in urban areas in Côte d’Ivoire. We assessed the health risks associated with the use of wastewater for watering salad destined for human consumption, to help local ...
