How Do Sanitation Standards Prevent Disease Transmission?
Sanitation standards prevent disease transmission through several mechanisms: - Waste Management: Proper disposal of human and animal waste reduces the risk of contaminating water sources and spreading pathogens. - Water Treatment: Ensuring clean and safe drinking water by treating it to remove contaminants and pathogens. - Personal Hygiene: Promoting handwashing with soap, especially after using the toilet and before eating, to remove germs. - Food Safety: Implementing practices like cooking food to the right temperature and avoiding cross-contamination to prevent foodborne illnesses.
