Journal ArticleDOI
Water sanitation and hygiene interventions to reduce diarrhoea in less developed countries: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Lorna Fewtrell,Rachel B. Kaufmann,David Kay,Wayne T. A. Enanoria,Laurence Haller,John M. Colford,John M. Colford +6 more
TL;DR: Water quality interventions (point-of-use water treatment) were found to be more effective than previously thought, and multiple interventions (consisting of combined water, sanitation, and hygiene measures) were not moreeffective than interventions with a single focus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating the burden of disease from water, sanitation, and hygiene at a global level
TL;DR: This preliminary estimation of the global disease burden caused by water, sanitation, and hygiene provides a basic model that could be further refined for national or regional assessments and suggests that it should be a priority for public health policy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of widespread fluids in the Tibetan crust by magnetotelluric studies.
Wenbo Wei,Martyn Unsworth,Alan G. Jones,John R. Booker,Handong Tan,Doug Nelson,Leshou Chen,Shenghui Li,K. D. Solon,Paul A. Bedrosian,Sheng Jin,Ming Deng,Juanjo Ledo,David Kay,Brian Roberts +14 more
TL;DR: Magnetotelluric exploration has shown that the middle and lower crust is anomalously conductive across most of the north-to-south width of the Tibetan plateau, suggesting that partial melt and/or aqueous fluids are widespread within the Tibetan crust.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extreme water-related weather events and waterborne disease
TL;DR: Outbreaks following extreme water-related weather events were often the result of contamination of the drinking-water supply and differences in reporting of outbreaks were seen between the scientific literature and ProMED.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting likelihood of gastroenteritis from sea bathing: results from randomised exposure
David Kay,Frank Jones,M. D. Wyer,Jay M. Fleisher,Roland L. Salmon,Alan F. Godfree,A Zelenauch-Jacquotte,Roy E. Shore +7 more
TL;DR: It is not suggested that faecal streptococci caused the excess of gastrointestinal symptoms in sea bathers but these microorganisms do seem to be a better indicator of water quality than the traditional coliform counts.
