The aim of this study was to do a preliminary assessment of the chemical and microbial surface water quality of the Chunies River. For this purpose sampling was undertaken on 25 and 26 May 2002, and a range of chemical (macro-elements, micro-elements and heavy metals) and microbial variables (HPC, total coliforms and faecal coliforms) were measured. The chemical water quality of the second sect...

The achievement of safe sanitation access is about 7.42 % in 2018, that indicates high risk faecal contamination from unmanaged onsite system and has not been fully supported by sludge service. This paper described the study characteristic for review potential integrating handling with improved communal wastewater treatment. Faecal quality were observed pit latrines septic tank, then analysis m...

SOME FACTORS affecting the chemistry and microbiology of waste tips are rainfall, surface water runoff, ground cover, types of tip and types of soil within the tip. Previous studies by Qasim & Burchinal (1970), on both simulated and natural tips, showed that anaerobic activity released CO,, H,, N, and CH,, and from acetone extracted tip solids, they obtained several aliphatic acids, ranging fro...

Changes were assessed in urban wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent quality during short-term storage in open surface ponds. Water quality was monitored over five years at the inlets and outlets of open storage ponds located at three biological nutrient removal plants. Pond influent temperature, rainfall and sewage inflow were not found to be major factors. However, there was a trend for ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the contamination level of total and faecal coliforms in water wells and distribution networks, and their association with human health in Gaza Governorate, Gaza Strip. METHODS Data were obtained from the Palestinian Ministry of Health on contamination of total and faecal coliforms in water wells and distribution networks, and on the incidence of water-related diseases in ...

Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is effective in the treatment of Clostridium difficile infection, where efficacy correlates with changes in microbiota diversity and composition. The effects of FMT on recipient microbiota in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) remain unclear. We assessed the effects of FMT on microbiota composition and function, mucosal immune response, and clinical outcom...

Abstract Watershed management is important, especially to water management. River pollution in the upstream has an impact on quality midstream and downstream. Boyong part of Code which three dominant land uses. Land use activities cause faecal from animals or humans waste river bodies. This can presence coliform bacteria rivers, both Total Coliform (TC) Fecal (FC). study aims determine effect n...

Gaza beach is the only recreational area available for the local inhabitants of Gaza, Palestine. It is heavily polluted with treated, partially treated and untreated sewage from point and non-point sources. The majority of the population is below the age of 15, an age group vulnerable to gastrointestinal diseases and that usually restricts its activities to beach sand at the swash zone. A total...
