READING
Read the passage and choose the best answer.
Contaminated water and poor sanitation are linked to transmission of diseases such as
cholera, diarrhoea, dysentery, hepatitis A, typhoid and polio. Absent, inadequate, or
inappropriately managed water and sanitation services expose individuals to preventable
health risks. This is particularly the case in health care facilities where both patients and
staff are placed at additional risk of infection and disease when water, sanitation and
hygiene services are lacking. Globally, 15% of patients develop an infection during a
hospital stay, with the proportion much greater in low-income countries.
Inadequate management of urban, industrial and agricultural wastewater means the
drinking-water of hundreds of millions of people is dangerously contaminated or chemically
polluted. Natural presence of chemicals, particularly in groundwater, can also be of health
significance, including arsenic and fluoride, while other chemicals, such as lead, may be
elevated in drinking-water as a result of leaching from water supply components in contact
with drinking-water.
Some 829 000 people are estimated to die each year from diarrhoea as a result of unsafe
drinking-water, sanitation and hand hygiene. Yet diarrhoea is largely preventable, and the
deaths of 297 000 children aged under 5 years could be avoided each year if these risk
factors were addressed. Where water is not readily available, people may decide
handwashing is not a priority, thereby adding to the likelihood of diarrhoea and other
diseases.
Diarrhoea is the most widely known disease linked to contaminated food and water but
there are other hazards. In 2017, over 220 million people required preventative treatment for

schistosomiasis – an acute and chronic disease caused by parasitic worms contracted
through exposure to infested water.
In many parts of the world, insects that live or breed in water carry and transmit
diseases such as dengue fever. Some of these insects, known as vectors, breed in clean,
rather than dirty water, and household drinking water containers can serve as breeding
grounds. The simple intervention of covering water storage containers can reduce vector
breeding and may also reduce faecal contamination of water at the household level.
