Solar Water Disinfection in Household Settings: Hype or Hope?
Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 7, and its target 3, aims to halve the proportions of people globally without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation by 2015 [1]. Others have argued that access to safe drinking water is a fundamental human right [2]. Several interventions to improve access to clean water and sanitation, including one reported in this week’s PLoS Medicin...
متن کاملSolar disinfection: an approach for low-cost household water treatment technology in Southwestern Ethiopia
Disinfection of contaminated water using solar radiation (SODIS) is known to inactivate bacteria. Its inactivation efficiency depends on local conditions where the disinfection is made. This study was aiming to test the efficiency of solar disinfection using different water parameters as low-cost household water treatment technology. Inactivation of microbes was tested using fecal coliform as t...
متن کاملCalibrating an optimal condition model for solar water disinfection in peri-urban household water treatment in Kampala, Uganda.
In low income settlements where the quality of drinking water is highly contaminated due to poor hygienic practices at community and household levels, there is need for appropriate, simple, affordable and environmentally sustainable household water treatment technology. Solar water disinfection (SODIS) that utilizes both the thermal and ultra-violet effect of solar radiation to disinfect water ...
متن کاملIntracellular mechanisms of solar water disinfection
Solar water disinfection (SODIS) is a zero-cost intervention measure to disinfect drinking water in areas of poor access to improved water sources, used by more than 6 million people in the world. The bactericidal action of solar radiation in water has been widely proven, nevertheless the causes for this remain still unclear. Scientific literature points out that generation of reactive oxygen s...
متن کاملDrinking Water Disinfection by Solar Radiation
A primary concern of developing countries throughout the world is that of obtaining safe drinking water. Waterborne diseases are still common in developing countries since drinking water sources are contaminated and the conventional rural water treatment plants are often inefficient to produce safe drinking water. This situation in developing countries is a major problem in terms of preventing ...
