Contaminated Water as a Health Problem
• How many people die from waterborne disease per day globally– 25,000 per day (WHO statistic)– 9,000,000 per year

Contaminated Water as a Health Problem
• Pierre Payment - American Journal of Public Health– 35% of vomiting and Diarrhea illness come
from drinking contaminated water– 166,000 hospitalizations, 1000 deaths
• In the US the cost is $9.5 Billion dollars

Brief History of Waterborne Disease
• 350 B.C. Hippocrates recommended filtering and boiling water so as not to poison the palate
• 1855 John Snow linked Cholera infection to a community well
• 1887 sand filtration equipment manufacturers claimed Cholera and Typhoid fever eliminated by water filtration

Brief History of Waterborne Disease
• Until 1920 dysentery from Typhoid fever and Cholera was the leading cause of death in the U.S.
• Chlorination of Jersey City water supply in 1908 wiped out Typhoid and Cholera
