Infectious waterborne diseases

Abstract

Survey introduced the first of a series of briefing papers that were designed to increase the understanding of its employees of the significance of various aspects of water quality. Numerous briefing papers have been prepared by the Quality of Water Branch. Others will be prepared as the need arises. Each paper addresses a separate topic and is written in a nontechnical, easy-to-understand manner for distribution within the organization. Because of the favorable reception that the papers have received and their apparent effectiveness in accomplishing the objectives stated above, it would appear that their wider distribution would serve a useful purpose. It is hoped that a wide range of persons, including those interested in the quality of our Nation's water resources but who have little or no technical training, will find value in reading the papers. Furthermore, it is hoped that the papers will be suitable for supplemental reading in secondary education programs and in beginning college-level courses. The U.S. Geological Survey plans to publish several U.S. Geological Survey Circulars that contain briefing papers on particular aspects of water quality. This fourth Circular contains a paper discussing infectious waterborne diseases.

Gambaran Kualitas Air Sumur Gali Berdasarkan Parameter Fisik

“…Oleh karena itu, penting bagi manusia untuk mengkonsumsi air yang sehat yaitu air yang memenuhi baku mutu parameter fisik, kimia, dan biologi (Munfiah & Setiani, 2013). Konsumsi air yang tidak sehat berpotensi menimbulkan gangguan kesehatan bagi manusia, yaitu dapat menimbulkan penyakit baik yang sifatnya menular (communicable disease) maupun tidak menular (noncommunicable disease), yang ditularkan secara langsung melalui media air (waterborne disease) (Greeson, 1981;Health In 2015: From MDGs to SDGs, 2020Ramírez-Castillo et al 2015). Menurut Kemenkes RI, 1990, air yang dikategorikan bersih Berdasarkan studi awal dilapangan, air sumur gali yang dimiliki oleh beberapa warga di Desa Popalo terlihat keruh dan tidak memenuhi syarat air bersih untuk konsumsi, sehingga perlu dilakukan penelitian lanjutan terkait kualitas fisik air sumur gali tersebut.…”

Modeling and mental imagery use by multiply handicapped and learning disabled preschool children

“…Modeling was chosen as the training variable because this approach has been found to be effective in developing complex cognitive skills with many populations of children with learning problems, including the learning disabled, the mentally retarded, and the culturally different child (Bandura, 1969;Greeson, 1981;Greeson & Jacobson, 1973;Greeson & Jens, 1977;Russell, Brunson, & Bryant, 1984;Smith, 1979).…”
