Introduction Safe drinking-water is essential for healthy life, and United Nations (UN) General Assembly declared safe and clean drinking-water as a human right essential to the full enjoyment of life [1]. Moreover, the importance of water, sanitation and hygiene for health and development has been reflected in the outcomes of a series of international policy forums [1]. These have also included health and water-oriented conferences, but most importantly in the Millennium Development Goals (MDG)

We all know that poor and dirty conditions lead to the accumulation of bacteria and other health risking factors. It is a violation of policy for health codes. This can be seen in the Mountain View Farms most likely due to the fact that they grew the spinach in unfavorable conditions. There is a possibility that the spinach field came into contact with the STEC O157:H7 through outside sources due to the fact that they were exposed in dangerous conditions in outside environments instead of being grown

detrimental pollution issue regarding the Lake of the Ozarks is one that has been floating among the Ozarks for about a decade or two. The water quality has gone down the drain in recent years due to numerous factors such as leaking sewage and trash pollution. This issue is an environmental concern because it makes the Escherichia coli (E. coli) levels in the water go up, which can lead to illnesses and deaths of people and animals across the area. There was said to have been as much as 15,000 gallons

TITLE Lab #4 Soil –vs- Water Microbiology INTRODUCTION There are 4 learning goals for this lab: 1. Collect samples and compile data from at least 2 sources (soil; water) of your choice. 2. Identify at least 2 Prokaryotes (bacteria) and 2 Eukaryotes (fungus) in your samples. 3. Research the importance of bacteria and fungus to Earth in a non-medical context. 4. Compile a high-quality, 3+ resource (excluding the lab worksheet), MLA-cited in-text laboratory report using the scientific method

clean water and sanitary throwing away of human waste, insufficient feeding practices and hand washing; poor housing circumstances and lack of access to sufficient and reasonable health care (Gerald et al., 2001). Escherichia coli (EPEC) is a main cause of diarrhoea in infants and children in addition to pathogens such as Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia, Vibrio, Campylobacter sp., Entamoeba histolytica, and Giardia lamblia in developing countries (Ahmed et al., 2009). Diarrhoeagenic E. coli is the

abuse of antibiotics is creating resistant bacteria that are not affected by antibiotics, for e.g. methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (Coello et al. 1997). In order to prevent this, the bacteria must be stopped at the source before infection can take place. Therefore by measuring the effectiveness of cleaning products we can find natural/cheaper alternatives to fighting the bacteria, meaning it shall be more economical to produce, thus increasing availability (Wilson 2015). In order

or foodborne intoxication, is a major public health problem. All of the aforementioned refer to an illness developed after eating contaminated food (Robert Friis, 2012, p279). Almost all factors that can cause a foodborne illness are environmental. These include naturally occurring heavy metals, polluted water, and pollutants in the air (Friis, 2012, p279). The agricultural process also holds a large hand in contributing to foodborne illness, by potentially contaminating food with pesticides and
