Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United Nations University Institute for Natural Resources in Africa (UNU-INRA) supported a study in rural communities in Ghana and assessed its potential for eco-business development. The findings revealed that, out of 150 rural households sampled, nearly half of the respondents lacked access to improved water supply. Similarly, a majority of the respondents (82%) did not apply any form of treatment to their drinking water. Interestingly, cultural reasons, cost and difficulty of treatment emerged as the main reasons that discouraged point-of-use water treatment. These findings call for education especially in rural communities, to promote the use of water treatment technologies like the bio-sand filter in rural households, particularly in developing continents.Education on household water treatment and storage interventions could be intensified in community health outreach programs, especially in communities that lack access to improved drinking water. This book focuses on the "how to" of water purification with detailed instructions and pictures on each of the five methods; boiling and aeration, chemical treatment, the three bucket method, the bio-sand filter and the SODIS (Solar Water Disinfection) method. It discusses the pros and cons of each method with an emphasis on methods which can be implemented without specialized training.Clean Water for Life also includes an extensive section on the commonly encountered germs and other pollutants with instructions on how to prevent and treat them.We also publish two other manuals on the subject of water purification, one for the health worker and the other focusing on community involvement and education.

Book excerpt: Human health depends on the health of the planet. Earth’s natural systems—the air, the water, the biodiversity, the climate—are our life support systems. Yet climate change, biodiversity loss, scarcity of land and freshwater, pollution and other threats are degrading these systems. The emerging field of planetary health aims to understand how these changes threaten our health and how to protect ourselves and the rest of the biosphere. Planetary Health: Protecting Nature to Protect Ourselves provides a readable introduction to this new paradigm. With an interdisciplinary approach, the book addresses a wide range of health impacts felt in the Anthropocene, including food and nutrition, infectious disease, non-communicable disease, dislocation and conflict, and mental health. It also presents strategies to combat environmental changes and its ill-effects, such as controlling toxic exposures, investing in clean energy, improving urban design, and more. Chapters are authored by widely recognized experts. The result is a comprehensive and optimistic overview of a growing field that is being adopted by researchers and universities around the world. Students of public health will gain a solid grounding in the new challenges their profession must confront, while those in the environmental sciences, agriculture, the design professions, and other fields will become familiar with the human consequences of planetary changes. Understanding how our changing environment affects our health is increasingly critical to a variety of disciplines and professions. Planetary Health is the definitive guide to this vital field.
