Revision history [back]

Hello, I didn't check if this question was treated before, sorry if this is the case: I am just wondering why the 3 MSF Standard chlorine solutions used in Cholera Treatment Centers/Units (0.05%, 0.2% and 2%) are not used in ETCs-ETUs now, and quite "softened" at 0.05% and 0.5% maximum, even for extreme desinfection (dead bodies, latrines, used cleansing materials, etc). Is the parallel Cholera - Ebola inappropriate for chlorination methods ? Also another remark: I think it should be emphazised in the Ebola WASH Guidance Notes that the latrines should be constructed in a way that there is no exfiltration risks into surrounding soil, with a closed pit, like a reservoir (plastic sheeting all against Inside walls and bottom) to be desinfected regularly, or am I wrong?

Thank you EdoC
