[Dry toilets: a means of alternative sanitation].
OBJECTIVE Evaluating dry toilet use in a rural area of Colombia. METHOD Fifteen families were selected by convenience sampling from the rural area of a municipality in the Cundinamarca department in Colombia. A dry (composting) toilet was installed in one house and used for demonstration purposes over a five-month period. An ex-post evaluation was made concerning technical and economic matter...
متن کاملFecal Coliforms and Fecal Streptococci Contamination of Traditional Ice Cream in Tabriz
Most of present traditional ice cream from hygienic quality has non-conforming with extant standards. Pasteurization of primary ice cream mixture with sufficient thermal processing increase hygienic quality level and causes control of primary infection. Origins of infection for traditional ice cream consist of: use of infected primary materials (milk or cream) or non-pasteurization of them. Stu...
متن کاملRelease of sediment-bound fecal coliforms by dredging.
Fecal coliform concentrations increased significantly (F test) in the immediate vicinity of a maintenance dredging operation in the Mississippi River navigation channel. Increased counts were attributed to the disturbance and relocation of bottom sediments by dredging and a concomitant release of sediment-bound fecal coliforms.
متن کاملVermicomposting toilets, an alternative to latrine style microbial composting toilets, prove far superior in mass reduction, pathogen destruction, compost quality, and operational cost.
Composting toilets aim to recycle excrement into safe, stable humus. Preceding this, low costs, low risks, and mass reduction should be ensured. Source separating vermicomposting toilets (SSVCs) outperformed mixed latrine microbial composting toilets (MLMCs) in all categories. MLMCs: incurred ten times greater operational costs; created 10x more operator exposure; employed no proven pathogen re...
متن کاملDetermination of fecal contamination origin in reclaimed water open-air ponds using biochemical fingerprinting of enterococci and fecal coliforms.
Low levels of fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) were recently detected in two reclaimed water open-air ponds used to irrigate a golf course located in Northeastern Spain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a biochemical fingerprinting method to track the origin of fecal contamination in water with low FIB levels, as in the aforementioned ponds. We also aimed to determine whet...
