520 _a Public Health is of central importance in the design and implementation of improved excreta disposal projects. Improvements in health are the main social and economic benefit which planners and economists hope to achieve by investing in excreta disposal. It is therefore necessary to make available as much information as possible about the interaction between excreta and health in order that engineers and planners may make informed and rational decisions. The information that is required not only concerns the broad epidemiological issues of the impact on disease of improvements in excreta disposal, but also the ways in which particular excreta disposal and reuse technologies affect the survival and dissemination of particular pathogens. This book sets out to provide such information. It is intended for planners, engineers, economists, and health workers and has been written with a minimum of jargon so that it can be readily adsorbed by people from differing professional backgrounds. This paper presents a distillation of available knowledge on excreta, night soil, sewage and health. The emphasis is on presenting the complex, and sometimes contradictory, evidence as clearly and concisely as possible.
