Title A name given to the resource Water pollution control: A guide to the use of water quality management principles Subject The topic of the resource 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.

Title A name given to the resource Communicable disease control in emergencies - A field manual Subject The topic of the resource This manual is intended to help health professionals and public health coordinators working in emergency situations prevent, detect and control the major communicable diseases encountered by affected populations (diarrhoeal diseases, acute respiratory infections, measles, and malaria). This field manual is the result of collaboration among a number of WHO departments and several external partner agencies in reviewing existing guidelines on communicable disease control and adapting them to emergency situations. This manual deals with the fundamental principles of communicable disease control in emergencies, which are: rapid assessment; prevention; surveillance; outbreak control; and disease management. It is hoped that this manual, by setting standards for communicable disease control in emergencies, will promote effective, coordinated action towards the prevention and control of communicable diseases in emergencies.

Title A name given to the resource Guide on respiratory protection against bioaerosols - Recommendations for selection and use Subject The topic of the resource No respiratory protection guide specific to biological hazards exists. To make up for this deficiency, the review committee for Schedule 1 of the Regulation respecting occupational health and safety asked the IRSST to produce such a document. The authors will take into account two types of hazards: infections associated with living bioaerosols, and the immunological or toxic reactions caused by microorganisms, even dead ones. The guide that will result from their work will be useful to workers exposed to biological hazards and to the people responsible for protecting them by determining the need to wear respiratory protective equipment and by making it easier to choose the most appropriate device, based on the case.
