The sanitation system must be close enough in proximity to the population that people can use it (no more than a 1 - to 2-minute walk). 

One of the major uses of iodine and its compounds is in sanitation systems or in making various antiseptics and dmgs. Iodine is also used to make... 

Iodine can have both favorable and unfavorable effects on living organisms. It tends to kill bacteria and other disease-causing organisms. In fact, this property leads to its use in sanitation systems and as an antiseptic. An antiseptic is a chemical that stops the growth of germs. Not so long ago, tincture of iodine was one of the most popular antiseptics. It was applied... 

Uncontrolled fertilizer application resulted in steadily accumulating nitrate in water resources worldwide more than two-thirds of the underground water in Bulgarian rural areas has been affected (Gopina, 1994). However, nitrogen from human waste also appears to be an important source in rural areas lacking centralized water and sanitation systems. 

Although cholera can be life-threatening, it is easily prevented and treated. In the United States, because of advanced water and sanitation systems, cholera is not a major threat liowever. everyone, especially travelers, should be aware of liow the disease is transmitted and what can be done to prevent it.

In the past few centuries, engineering and medicine have all but eliminated some diseases that previously were major threats. Examples are smallpox, typhoid, cholera, bubonic plague, diphtheria, tuberculosis, and poho. Medicine has contributed vaccinations, improved treatments, and the use of antibiotics. Engineering contributed sanitation systems to manage human and other waste and to prevent the spread of diseases and illnesses by treating water. 

As armed conflict forces people to leave from their homes, a need arises for temporary shelter. Camps for internally displaced persons and refugees can have significant environmental impacts on agricultural land, forests, and other ecosystems. Refugees and internally displaced persons also require safe water and food, sanitation systems, medical-care and public health services, all of which could have direct or indirect environmental consequences [33]. 

Ecological Sanitation. Composting toilets provide a safe and healthy option for sanitation systems worldwide. It relies on dry biochemical processes that do not require water. Aerobic decomposition of human feces is a viable technology particularly in rural and desert communities where water is unavailable for flushing toilets.
