environmental health protection
It focused on the natural and built environments for the benefit of human
environmental health
it is concerned with protecting the natural environment for the benefit of human health and the ecosystem
environmental protection
Can cause health problems like respiratory disease heart disease and some types of cancer
environmental pollutant
It’s collection treatment and the reuse of waste water
community water and waste management
kinds of wastes
solid wastes

water waste treatment
primary sewage treatment r
secondary sewage treatment
advanced or tertiary sewage treatment
Involves mostly physical processes that remove larger particles by filtering water through large screens and then allowing smaller particles to settle in ponds or lagoons
primary sewage treatment
Involves more filtering further settling and aeration to accelerate bacterial breakdown of the sewage
secondary sewage treatment
Precipitation based on coagulation and settling to remove phosphorus and suspended solids 
advanced or tertiary sewage treatment
A study of how and why infectious disease says emergency spread among different populations and what strategies can prevent or contain the spread of the seas of the population level
epidemiology of infectious and toxic agents in water
The most commonly reported gastrointestinal infectious disease says that could be attributed to water
campylobacteriosis
giardiasis
hepatitis a
shigellosis
water testing Is carried out to meet the regulatory requirements and adhere to the safety procedures that are needed for pollutant free water
sources and testing of water
Properties detectable by the senses
physical test
Determines the amounts of mineral and organic substances that affect water quality
chemical test
shows the Presence of bacteria characteristics of faecal pollution
bacteriological tests
The distribution and determinants of health and disease in human populations Is the principal science of public health
epidemiology by harkness, 1995
disease occurrence among a population that is more than what is expected in a given time and place usually a sudden increase
epidemic or outbreak
an epidemic that spreads across regions
pandemic
A disease or condition present among a population at all times
endemic
Organized epidemiologists investigations of the disease pattern in the community this study of the amount and distribution of disease constitutes a descriptive epidemiology
person-place-time model
epidemiological triangle
agent host environment
Is a model of investigation where the epidemiologist examines the interrelationships between host and environmental characteristics and uses an organized method of inquiry to drive then exclamation of disease
