Sanitation refers to the provision of facilities and services for the safe disposal of human waste and the maintenance of hygienic conditions. Inadequate sanitation can lead to the spread of waterborne diseases, such as cholera and typhoid, especially in communities lacking clean water and proper waste management.
Hazards in the housing environment can include exposure to environmental toxins, pests, and physical dangers such as mold, lead, or structural deficiencies. These hazards can contribute to respiratory issues, allergies, and injuries, particularly in vulnerable populations like children and the elderly.
Housing-related health risks encompass various factors, including overcrowding, poor ventilation, and insufficient heating or cooling. Such conditions can exacerbate mental health issues and increase the risk of infectious diseases.
This lecture is part of EHS312 HOUSING AND HEALTH FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS in the Environmental Health Science department. The course has 10 recorded lectures across 5 series, all free to watch.
