Great day out talking about the risks of pest issues, and how we can help!

The reality is that commercial interests will be damaged by degradation of drinking water. Putting commercial interests above drinking water protection is as immature as an airline not conducting maintenance and asset management on their fleet to increase profit. Water is a non-negotiable input into every enterprise, every single product, community, and person. Global financial institutions and insurers already recognise and cost for this risk. The need to manage its quality from a natural capital perspective is as irrefutable as the need to manage it from a biodiversity/human survival perspective.

Handwashing Practice Proper washing of hands with soap and water at critical times, and keeping the environment clean are noted as the most cost-effective actions to reduce disease and effective handwashing practices with soap and water could reduce diarrheal deaths by up to 50% (CDC, 2022). The present worry in Nigeria is that at least 70,000 children die yearly from disease burdens caused by a triple threat of unsafe water, poor sanitation and poor hand hygiene. But we can change this ugly narrative by engaging school communities to enable children engage in good handwashing practice. *Note Critical times for handwashing with clean water and soup include; After using the toilet After cleaning the environment Before cooking food Before eating After cleaning nostrils After tending animals After cleaning a wound After caring for someone who is ill   The picture here was during a community handwashing demonstration session, to help the mothers understand that very little quantity of water can be enough to wash their hands clean as long as they get someone to help pour the water in gradually like a trickling tap; and using soap as well.

What actions should be taken when drinking water exceeds guideline level for radionuclides? When drinking water exceeds guideline levels for radionuclides, the following actions should be taken: 1. The regulatory body or other national authority should establish a reference level for drinking water that would be applied to those water supplies that consistently exceed the guideline levels published by the World Health Organization (WHO). 2. The regulatory body or other national authority should provide guidance to the public and water authorities on the need for protective actions or restrictions on the use of the water supply for drinking. 3. The regulatory body or other national authority should consider the availability of other drinking water supplies and the costs of protective actions, such as additional water treatment. 4. The regulatory body or other national authority should periodically review the reference levels to ensure that they remain appropriate in light of the prevailing circumstances. It is important to note that the specific actions to be taken will depend on the specific circumstances and the severity of the exceedance.
