EFFECT OF IN-LINE DRINKING WATER CHLORINATION AT THE POINT OF COLLECTION ON CHILD DIARRHOEA IN URBAN BANGLADESH: A DOUBLE-BLIND, CLUSTER-RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIAL

Amy J Pickering, Yoshika Crider, Sonia Sultana, Jenna Swarthout, Frederick GB Goddard, Syed Anjerul Islam, Shreyan Sen, Raga Ayyagari, Stephen P Luby

Key Findings:

Children in the treatment group had less WHO-defined diarrhoea than did children in the control group

Interpretation

Passive chlorination at the point of collection could be an effective and scalable strategy in low-income urban settings for reducing child diarrhoea and for achieving global progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 6.1 to attain universal access to safe and affordable drinking water.




PILOT STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF AN INTERVENTION USING SODIUM DICHLOROISOCYANURATE TABLETS (AQUATABS) FOR DRINKING WATER TREATMENT IN DHAKA, BANGLADESH

N.A.MOLLA, A. HOSSAIN, P. EDMONDSON and O. SHIPIN

Key Findings:

  • 70% of mothers were not aware that health improvements were related to water supply and sanitation
  • The diarrhea in children under 5 years of age was reduced from a pre-trial level of 100% in the “Severe Diarrhea Group” to 14.3% during the trial period
  • 65.7% of children were reported to be free from diarrhea during the trial period
  • 78% of mothers favoured the use of Aquatabs because
    • they were easy and safe to use, store and handle
    • they had no objectionable smell or taste
    • they dissolved quickly



HOUSEHOLD WATER TREATMENT USING SODIUM DICHLOROISOCYANURATE (NaDCC) TABLETS: A RANDOMIZED, CONTROLLED TRIAL TO ASSESS MICROBIOLOGICAL EFFECTIVENESS IN BANGLADESH

THOMAS CLASEN, TANVEER F. SAEED, SOPHIE BOISSON, PAUL EDMONDSON, AND OLEG SHIPIN

Key Findings:

While 61.7% (116/188) of samples from the intervention households met World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for 0 TTCs in drinking water, none of the 191 samples from control households met such a benchmark.




SODIUM DICHLOROISOCYANURATE (NADCC) TABLETS AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE FOR THE ROUTINE TREATMENT OF DRINKING WATER AT THE HOUSEHOLD LEVEL

Thomas Clasen, Paul Edmondson




MICROBIOLOGICAL EFFECTIVENESS OF HOUSEHOLD WATER TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES UNDER FIELD USE CONDITIONS IN RURAL TANZANIA

Hussein Mohamed,Thomas Clasen, Robert Mussa Njee, Hamisi M. Malebo, Stephen Mbuligwe and Joe Brown

Key Findings:

Given that microbiological performance across technologies was comparable, decisions regarding scale-up should be based on other factors, including uptake in the target population and correct, consistent, and sustained use over time.
