Environmental Health Program

Environmental Health Program, For Best Health Quality

One important requirement of environmental health programs is the problem of clean water, garbage and sanitation, namely the need for clean water, waste produced daily by the community and the direct disposal of waste water which flowed in the river channel. This causes the sedimentation of river channels, river channels clogged with garbage. In the rainy season floods always occur and cause disease.

Some diseases caused by poor sanitation and waste disposal and waste water which is less well are:
1. Diarrhea
2. Scarlet fever
3. Dysentery
4. Hepatitis A
5. Cholera
6. Typhus
7. Wormy
8. Malaria
Why defecate should be healthy? why do we have latrines need to be healthy? This may have never thought by most our rural communities. from the above explanation can already known diseases that arise due to defecate and the latrine is not healthy.
Latrines are placeholders where human waste is intentionally made to secure it, with the aim of:
1. Preventing the spread of direct materials that are harmful to humans due to human sewage.
2. Preventing the spread of disease vector for the user and the surrounding environment

Flies that landed on the trash on the water and wastewater or sewer rat who entered into the sewage can carry a number of disease-causing germs. When a fly or a mouse is touching food or drinks will most likely people to swallow food and drink will suffer as one of the diseases mentioned above. Similarly, small children playing or adults who work near or having direct contact with wastewater and solid waste can be exposed to diseases such as mentioned above, especially if it is not clear limbs first.
1. Waste water can be divided into two parts, namely:
2. Water former derived from the tub or floor sink or appliances, floor laundry and bathroom
3. Sludge originating from the toilet or water closet (WC)

Septic tank or a centralized waste water treatment unit is needed in order to treat wastewater before discharge to water body. In addition to preventing pollution, including disease-causing organisms, waste water treatment intended to reduce the burden of pollution or contaminants so that describe the quality standard requirements when discarded to receiving water bodies.
Rubbish and waste water containing various elements such as dissolved gases, dissolved solid substances, oils and fats as well as microorganisms. Microorganisms contained in waste and waste water can form decomposing organisms and cause disease. Handling waste and waste water which is less good, such as:
1. Waste water flowing into the open channel
2. Walls and bottom lines damaged by poorly maintained
Sewage and garbage into the canal which causes blockage and the emergence of a pool will accelerate the proliferation of microorganisms or disease-causing germs, insects and mammals disseminator of diseases such as flies and rats.
A body of water such as rivers or the sea has a capacity of a particular decomposition. When the waste water directly into the body is inserted just done a water without processing, then one day it may cause environmental pollution. Contamination takes place when the capacity of wastes contained in the body of water that exceeded the water body can no longer make the processing or decompose naturally. Such condition is called septic or contaminated condition characterized by:
1. Foul odor
2. Water color is dark and dense
3. Number of fish and other aquatic organisms are dead or float.

Clean and Healthy Living Patterns
Clean and healthy life can be defined as living in an environment of cleanliness and hygiene standards as well as running the pattern / behavior of clean and healthy living. A healthy environment can give effect to the quality of healthcare. Person's health would be good if the environment around him is also good. Vice versa, a person's health will become worse if the environment around him is less good. In the application of clean and healthy living can be started by creating a healthy environment. A healthy environment can be characterized by residence (home) and a healthy environment around the house.
