“…Disinfection of water and wastewater has played an essential role in improving public health over the last few decades. Disinfectants are primarily strong oxidants that efficiently inactivate pathogens and protect populations from waterborne diseases, including diarrhea, cholera, salmonellosis, giardiasis, and cryptosporidiosis. Chlorine-based disinfectants, including free chlorine (HOCl/ClO – ) and combined chlorine (NH 2 Cl, NHCl 2 ), are the most commonly used disinfectants due to their relatively low costs and high inactivation effectiveness. , However, the formation of halogenated disinfection byproducts (DBPs) during chlor­(am)­ination warrants public concerns.…”

“…Os problemas gerados pelo descarte incorreto do lodo podem ser encontrados no ambiente diante da contaminação do solo ou até mesmo dos corpos hídricos, cuja presença de matéria orgânica diminui a carga de oxigênio dissolvido na água e reduz a vida aquática. No caso da contaminação hídrica é possível identificar também problemas de saúde pública gerados pela presença de agentes transmissores de doenças de veiculação hídrica como a cólera, a esquistossomose, doenças gastrointestinais e outras que colocam em risco a saúde da população (Rhoden, Alonso, Carmona, Pham, & Barnes, 2021;Ferreira, Graziele, Marques, & Gonçalves, 2021). Um estudo de caso realizado por Ferreira et al (2021) sobre veiculação hídrica de doenças no Brasil aponta que os estados poderiam diminuir o número de pessoas que necessitam de internamento em 157 mil por R$100 milhões investidos em saneamento e 26 mil por R$100 milhões investidos em água potável, reforçando assim o papel do saneamento na qualidade de saúde pública o que inclui tratamento e descarte adequado de resíduos.…”

“…Waterborne disease rates and mortality are higher in children, mainly due to underdeveloped immune systems and a higher chance of exposure 34,35 . Rhoden et al (2021) reported that the highest number of waterborne diseases in Florida occurred among children under 5 and elderly over 74 when compared to other age groups 36 . The homeless population is also at greater risk of exposure, mainly due to the use of contaminated surface water for bathing or washing their belongings 37,38 .…”
