Those of us with daily access to clean and efficiently flushing toilets don't think twice about the hazards of unsafe sanitation, which include diseases like cholera, dysentery and environmental pollution.
Cholera outbreaks tend to receive widespread media attention and speedy, crisis-management responses. Less talked about, but just as deadly, is acute diarrhoea, which is a direct consequence of poor water and sanitation provision. Diarrhoea kills more than 50 000 Kenyan children every year and effects millions more. The acute health problems that exist or can potentially arise in certain of the urban and in almost all the rural areas of our developing country are as a result of either non-existing or inadequate waste matter treatment.
DIO pit Digester can make a very significant contribution to the prevention to the spread of diseases such as cholera, dysentery, diarrhoea, and typhoid which are caused by the lack of waste treatment facilities.
What is waste matter?Waste matter (faeces) is what remains after food has been digested, discharged from the bowels. This material is often inadvertently contaminated with toxic organic and inorganic compounds. Human waste is a waste type usually used to refer to by-products of digestion, such as faeces and urine. Human waste is most often transported as sewage in waste water through sewerage systems. Alternatively it is disposed of in nappies (diapers) in municipal solid waste. Human waste can be a serious health hazard, as it is a good vector (an organism that transmits a particular disease or parasite from one animal or plant to another or both viral and bacterial diseases) A major accomplishment of human civilization has been the reduction of disease transmission via human waste through the practice of hygiene and sanitation, including the development of sewage systems and plumbing. Human waste can be reduced or reused through use of waterless urinals and composting toilets and grey water. The most common method of waste treatment in rural areas where municipal sewage systems are unavailable is the use of the septic tank systems/Pit latrine.
