This book was released on 2023-11-23 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document describes the latest methods and procedures for disinsection of internal areas of passenger, military and cargo aircraft to prevent international transport of mosquito vectors of human diseases and protect aircraft passengers and airline crew. It provides updates on insecticide application methods and equipment, physical requirements of aerosol and residual sprays, and revised calculation tables for aerosol spray amounts required, as well as updated examples of pre-embarkation and pre-departure cabin treatment and certification requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). It is intended for use by Member States and stakeholders (e.g. airlines, airport authorities, members of the International Air Transport Association, ICAO, pesticide manufacturers and pesticide regulatory agencies). Countries that are in liaison with the departure country should observe the requirements for disinsection of arriving aircraft, taking into consideration various risk factors described in the document. The regulatory aspects of approval of products for aircraft disinsection and occupational risk assessment are beyond the scope of the document. Separate guidance is available for surveillance and control of vectors in and around airport premises. Although the prevention of importation of agricultural pests is beyond the scope of this document, many countries may require aircraft disinsection for this purpose.

The resources are principally intended for use by governments in low- and middle-income countries but they may also be useful to other stakeholders. The resources cover both agricultural and public health uses of pesticides. The documents listed in this compendium have been prepared, reviewed and adopted by FAO and WHO expert groups including, since 2007, the FAO/ WHO Joint Meeting on Pesticide Management (JMPM).

Book excerpt: Epidemics and pandemics of infectious diseases are occurring more often, and spreading faster and further than ever, in many different regions of the world. The background factors of this threat are biological, environmental and lifestyle changes, among others. A potentially fatal combination of newly-discovered diseases, and the re-emergence of many long-established ones, demands urgent responses in all countries. Planning and preparation for epidemic prevention and control are essential. The purpose of the Managing epidemics handbook is to provide expert guidance on those response. Building on the first edition, the second edition provides concise and basic up-to-date knowledge with which World Health Organization country representatives can advise Ministries of Health to respond effectively and rapidly at the very start of an outbreak. Part I of the handbook provides insights on epidemics of the 21st century and offers context on the upsurge of recent epidemics. Part II has been updated and offers 10 key facts about 19 deadly diseases including tips on the interventions required to respond. Part III presents various Tool boxes that summarize guidance on several important topics. The handbook focuses on practical and indispensable things to know about infectious diseases that are most important for national, political and operational decision-makers; it also links readers to more exhaustive WHO guidance.

Download or read book Post Pandemic Facilitation of Air Transport written by Ruwantissa Abeyratne and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-27 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From early 2020 for a period of two years at the end of which this book was written, air transport suffered unprecedented setbacks due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the pandemic may eventually fizzle out into another flu like occurrence, the restraint with which air transport services were offered would remain with us for a while with some practices being sustained, particularly those pertaining to public health. One of the main areas of air transport that was and will be affected significantly by the changed circumstances - is facilitation – a subject that is regulated by the Chicago Convention of 1944 and its Annex 9. This book looks in depth at the Annex as it will be applied in a post pandemic world, against its legal, socio-political, and economic impacts, addressing the Standards of the Annex on clearance of aircraft; entry and departure of passengers; and the carriage of cargo. It also discusses some critical aviation events in 2020 and 2021 that occurred as they relate to facilitation of air transport. Some of the key areas discussed are the role of ICAO; issues of public health as they relate to air transport; security of travel documents; smuggling of persons; digital technology and rights of the passenger; unruly passengers; carriage of disabled passengers; relief flights and repatriation flights; and facilities at airports.
