DESCRIPTION:Dr Hidenori HARADA\, Environmentally-friendly Industries for S
 ustainable Development\, Kyoto University (JP)\, visiting professor @EAWAG
  - Sandec\nAbstract:\nPeople living in unsanitary conditions are exposed t
 o faecal microorganisms through various pathways. This study conducted an 
 exposure analysis of E. coli and parasite eggs in a rural village of Vietn
 am where people use human manure for agriculture and in a slum of Banglade
 sh. The study was done in a probabilistic manner\, using Monte Carlo simul
 ation\, and considered multiple pathways of exposure\, such as intentional
 /accidental ingestion of drinking water\, hygiene water\, environmental wa
 ter\, food\, irrigation water\, river water\, farm soil\, playground soil\
 , and dirt on the surface of people’s hands. The results showed that exp
 osure trends were strongly reflected by people’s life style\, and that i
 ntentional ingestion of drinking water/food\, as well as accidental ingest
 ion of water/soil\, greatly contributed to their total exposure.Short biog
 raphy:\nDr. Hidenori Harada\, is an assistant professor of Kyoto Universit
 y\, and since November 2014 has been a visiting professor at Eawag/Sandec.
  He has been engaged in field-based research on Water\, Sanitation and Hyg
 iene (WASH) in developing countries on such topics as faecal microbial exp
 osure analysis\, decentralized or semi-centralized sanitation technology\,
  and faecal sludge management.
