Title A name given to the resource <h2>Water pollution control: A guide to the use of water quality management principles</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>This 459-page handbook is available in English and Spanish. The target audience includes policy makers and environmental managers in water authorities and engineering companies engaged in water quality programmes, especially in developing countries. It is also suitable for use as a textbook or as training material for water quality management course. High quality fresh water is limited in quantity and there is a need for comprehensive water management involving representatives of all those who use water. Effective management must ensure that the best use is made of available supplies, including protection from pollution, and should seek to limit conflicts over access to fresh water. This calls for the establishment of clearly defined policies and strategies as well as for the development of enforceable mechanisms and tools for water pollution control. This handbook has been prepared by leading international experts addressing specific aspects of water resources management and water pollution control. A series of case studies from various regions is also included, highlighting successful models of wastewater management and pollution control from different parts of the world.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/resources/watpolcontrol/en/index.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/resources/watpolcontrol/en/index.html</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource <h2>Operation and maintenance of rural water supply and sanitation systems: A training package for managers and planners</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>This course is available in English, Spanish, and Arabic. It contains a trainer’s guide and 4 modules which include an introduction, situation analysis, towards sustainable O &amp; M, and planning. The intended audience includes public health professionals, environmental health specialists, managers and planners who are concerned with the challenging problem of how to implement effective operation and maintenance of rural water supply and sanitation services in developing countries.

Title A name given to the resource <h2>Introduction and methods: Assessing the environmental burden of disease at national and local levels</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>This 71-page guide is available in English, and provides practical information to countries on how to assess what fraction of a national or subnational disease burden is attributable to an environmental risk factor. To assess the disease burden of a risk factor, the harmful effects of the risk factor on human health must be estimated fully, as well as the distribution of the harmful effects in the population. Any estimates and assumptions used in the assessment should be stated explicitly. The outcome of the assessment is information that can be used: to guide policies and strategies both in the health sector and in the environmental sector; to monitor health risks; and to analyse the cost-effectiveness of interventions. More generally, an assessment of the environmental burden of disease (EBD) can be used to raise awareness and strengthen institutional capacity for reducing the impact of environmental health risks on the population. The target readership includes professionals, such as researchers in universities, government agencies or the private sector, and decision-makers at national or regional level, who are interested in quantitatively estimating the health impacts of environmental risk factors.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.who.int/quantifying_ehimpacts/publications/en/9241546204.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.who.int/quantifying_ehimpacts/publications/en/9241546204.pdf</a> Type The nature or genre of the resource PDF Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource <h2>Lead: Assessing the environmental burden of disease</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>This 73-page guide is available in English, and outlines a method for estimating the disease burden at national, city or local levels caused by environmental exposure to lead. The intended audience includes intermediate level public health professionals, environmental health specialists, as well as policy makers. The method described in the guide assesses lead exposure from the distribution of lead levels in blood samples representative of the study population. For children, the exposure distribution is then converted into a distribution of IQ points lost, resulting mild mental retardation, and into rates of anaemia and gastrointestinal symptoms. For adults, the exposure distribution is converted mainly into increased blood pressure, which may cause various cardiovascular diseases, including ischaemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.who.int/quantifying_ehimpacts/publications/en/leadebd2.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.who.int/quantifying_ehimpacts/publications/en/leadebd2.pdf</a> Type The nature or genre of the resource PDF Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
