Oxfam Water Supply Scheme for Emergencies. This manual is part of a series of guides devised by the Oxfam Public Health Engineering Team to help provide a reliable water supply for populations affected by conflict or natural disaster. Wherever possible, water supplies in emergency conditions should ...be obtained from underground sources by exploitation of springs, tubewells, or dug wells. No filtration will then be needed. However, if sources are not available or cannot be developed, the use of surface water from streams, rivers, lakes or ponds becomes necessary. Usually these surface sources are polluted. The level of faecal contamination can be measured by use of the Oxfam/Delagua Water Test Kit (see Section C). Where a serious level of faecal pollution exists, it is essential firstly to try to reduce the cause of contamination, and secondly to treat the water to make it suitable for human consumption. The Filtration equipment provides a simple, long-term physical and biological treatment system that requires no chemicals (except small amounts of chlorine required during filter cleaning) and needs only simple regular maintenance

В этом руководстве использован комплексный подход к укреплению системы здравоохранения на границах с целью оказания поддержки национальным координационным цент...рам по ММСП и другим национальным учреждениям в разработке и осуществлении основанных на фактических данных планов действий по развитию возможностей по ММСП в пунктах пересечения границы. Этот подход включает в себя перемещение лиц, совершающих поездки, и багажа, грузов, контейнеров, перевозочных средств, товаров и почтовых посылок через наземные переходы, а также взаимодействие с соседними пограничными сообществами. При необходимости в ходе оценки риска могут учитываться и другие факторы.

Pollution contributes to antibiotic resistance and potentially undermines the effectiveness of medicines. High levels of antibiotics in water bodies downstream of manufacturing site...s have been widely documented. Currently, antibiotic pollution from manufacturing is largely unregulated and quality assurance criteria typically do not address environmental emissions.
