Ecological Sanitation and Associated Hygienic Risk An overview of existing policy making guidelines and research Gajurel, D. R., Wendland, C. (2007)
In household wastewater, urine contains considerably large amount of nutrients derived from agriculture whereas faeces contain most of the pathogens with a potential of causing diseases. Therefore, source control
of faeces from household wastewater prevents these disease-causing pathogens gaining access to water bodies where they survive longer than on land and pose a long-term threat to human health. This paper shows the importance of source-separating toilets and describes the existing policy making guidelines connected to ecological sanitation.
