Abstract People in Central Kalimantan province have long depended on the rivers around their villages. Yet, reports from the local health service show that the five diseases with the most patients are related to environmental factors, such as sanitation of water reservoirs and sanitation of home yards. This study aims to analyze the relationship between water quality, sanitation, and hygiene on environmental health in settlements on the banks of the Kahayan River. Data on sanitation, hygiene, and public health status were collected through observation and interviews, while river water quality was tested in the laboratory. The water to be analyzed was taken from three spots, namely upstream and downstream of the river, which are located out of the city, and the middle of river stream in the city centre. The results showed that the quality of water, sanitation, and hygiene in the city centre did not have a significant effect on environmental health even though the Environmental Heat Risk Assessment (EHRA) in the area showed poor scores. The study concludes that waste, as well as clean and healthy living behaviour is the biggest sanitation risks for environmental health. Synchronization of programs by related agencies could facilitate the arrangement of settlements on the riverbanks.

Abstract Introduction: Monitoring water quality in mobile dialysis (MD) services, assessing critical points and characterizing the risks inherent in the process, is essential to avoid risks to the patient's health. This study evaluated the microbiological quality of water in the MD of 36 hospitals with intensive treatment in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Methods: 204 water samples were collected from the points of entry to the network (NET), post-osmosis (PO) and dialysis solution (DS). The samples were evaluated for heterotrophic bacteria count, pathogen search, presence of endotoxins and aluminum content. Results: Bacterial contamination at 3 collection points in 36 hospitals was 30% (32/108); 42% from DS, 31% from PO and 17% from NET, with the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia , Burkholderia cepacia and Ralstonia pickettii in the 3 points. Endotoxin concentrations above 0.25 EU/mL occurred in 77% of the samples (17/22) analyzed in the PO. In the aluminum content, values above 0.01 mg/L were presented in 47% (7/15) of PO samples and 27% (4/15) of NET samples. There is no specific legislation for water used in the MD; therefore, the limits of the RDC of the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) 11/2014 were used; which regulates conventional hemodialysis services. Conclusion: The results highlight the importance of evaluating water quality in MD services to ensure patient safety and support the sanitary monitoring of this process as a healthcare promoter.

The characteristics of water sources are important factors that determine the methods of treatments and quality of water distributed to consumers. The quality of Langat River and borehole water were investigated in this study to obtain the baseline water quality for riverbank filtration (RBF) systems. Water samples from Langat River and seven boreholes constructed at different distances from the river bank were collected and analyzed for turbidity, color, BOD5, COD, NH3-N,E.coli, and heavy metals. Results indicate that the average levels of BOD5, COD, and NH3-N in the river are 23, 52, and 2 mg/L, respectively. The water is also very turbid with a turbidity value of over 400 NTU. Metals in the river water are not an issue, except for iron (Fe) and arsenic (As) with average levels of 4.92 and 0.073 mg/L, respectively. In addition, the average concentration of the pathogenic bacteriaE. coliin the river is also high with a value of 7,500 per 100 mL. The quality of water from boreholes exhibits improvement in terms of turbidity, color, total dissolve solid (TDS), dissolved oxygen (DO), COD, andE.coli. However, the levels of trace elements, such as arsenic (As), are higher in boreholes; the readings reached 0.13 mg/L. The 0presence of manganese (Mn) in wells is likewise high, with readings between 0.35 and 0.95 mg/L. Results indicate that distance is not the main factor in the increase in removal efficiency. Instead, site geology and biogeochemical processes in groundwater are probably the factors that determine pollutant removal and increased As and Mn concentrations in borehole water. Based on the information presented, this study may be able to provide baseline information regarding the suitability of an RBF system for a selected area.

Abstract The study covered an urban river valley, strongly transformed due to the transport infrastructure development. The paper evaluates changes in spatial management of the valley section passing through the city centre that occurred during the past two centuries (long and short term phenomena) as well as their effect on selected environmental components. The basic spatial analyses were carried out with the use of specialised software, cartographic materials and photographic and descriptive documentation of the studied area (archival data). The most unfavourable changes in the potential of the valley environment occurred over the past few decades. They are manifested in a considerable deterioration of landscape values as well as the quantity and quality of water resources. Relationship was identified between water quality and intensity of motor vehicle traffic near the river. Despite the progressing urbanisation of the valley, revitalisation procedures can be still carried out and attractive space in the city centre can be created. In order to demonstrate the reasonableness of the presented concept, the paper suggests that urban succession should be incorporated as a term covering time trends and accumulated transformations. It can be helpful in analysing and determining the directions of development in disputable situations.

In many developing countries, the scarcity of potable water is an ongoing challenge. Even when water is plentiful, its quality may be unsuitable for household use such as in the city of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) which is the study area for this investigation. Shortage of potable water has forced inhabitants in the city to rely on water wells dug without adherence to regulations or specifications within perimeters of their homesteads. The water from such wells is often polluted with household waste being generally disposed by burning and burying in shallow pits, thrown in pit toilets or into rivers. Such practices have led to contamination of ground water. This study examines the water quality of drinking water drawn from wells in Fer-bois, which falls under the Kimbanseke municipality in the South East of Kinshasa. The dynamics of well design/location, sources of possible contamination with respect to water treatment and water quality as well as its possible impact on health are examined. The area was shown to have poor groundwater quality with significant amounts of pollutants such as NO3, Pb and Cd leading to environmental and health concerns.

Clean water and free from pathogenic bacteria is the most important requirement to meet sanitation and hygiene needs and meet drinking needs. Most of the 3 springs in Sumberbening Village, Malang Regency, are mostly used by local communities and animals around protected forests. This research objective was to determine the quality of water based on the number of Coliform bacteria contamination and physical parameters to support the testing of 3 springs in Sumberbening Village, Malang Regency. This research was conducted in Kedung Trubus, Sendang Ngentup, and Sumber Trubus using descriptive exploratory methods. The results showed that all the springs were contaminated with Coliform bacteria with the highest total Coliform value in the Sendang Ngentup spring of 58.3 colonies / 100ml, while the highest fecal Coliform was found in Kedung Trubus spring 10.7 colonies / 100ml. The utilization of water in 3 springs to meet the drinking needs to be processed first. The physical parameters of Odor and Color indicate that all springs are odorless and colorless. The physical parameters of TDS show that only the spring water does not meet the quality standards of drinking water PERMENKES No. 492 of 2010 with a value exceeding 500mg / l. All springs based on the physical parameters of TDS meet the clean water requirements based on the clean water quality standard PERMENKES No. 32 of 2017 with a value <1000mg /l.
