What are the Epidemiological Benefits of Wastewater Treatment?
1. Disease Prevention: By removing harmful microorganisms, wastewater treatment reduces the incidence of waterborne diseases. 2. Public Health Monitoring: Wastewater can be analyzed to detect the presence of pathogens, allowing for early intervention and control measures. 3. Antibiotic Resistance: Treatment processes help to mitigate the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria by reducing their numbers in the environment.
