2 Working group 4: Sanitation systems, technology options, hygiene and health The SuSanA Approved Statement, draft 05/2007 addresses health as a central issue for Sustainable Sanitation: The main objective of a system is to protect and promote human health by providing a clean environment and breaking the cycle of disease. 2

3 Working group 4: Sanitation systems, technology options, hygiene and health Goal is to raise awareness and knowledge by: launching discussion and debate on the concept of system describing the wide variety of systems and technology components available with their advantages and disadvantages given selected sustainability criteria describing their function towards reducing health risk of stakeholders and downstream affected populations by technical and nontechnical means 3

4 Working group 4: Sanitation systems, technology options, hygiene and health Expected outputs: Factsheet on the importance to engage in a system perspective, taking into account waste products, processes/functions and technologies Sourcebook of typical systems and technologies with description on hygienization processes and risk of exposure to pathogens as well as case study descriptions. 4

5 Understanding sustainable system and technology options Understanding sustainable systems and technologies means to address: Function of health risk reduction Technical appropriateness Economic viability Institutional appropriateness Socially acceptability Minimal environmental impact Minimal resource use and potential for maximal resource reuse 5

6 A Sanitation System a multi-step process By considering as a multi-step process, and not a single point, waste products are accounted for from the point of generation to the point of ultimate disposal. Introducing the concept of waste inputs/products, functions and technologies 6
