Lived sanitation experiences in informal and formal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya: A comparative study through the lens of the Human Right to Sanitation
Urban sanitation is essential for health and well-being, yet provision remains deeply unequal, particularly in informal settlements. This study compares lived sanitation experiences across Nairobi’s informal and formal settlements and examines how water insecurity – too much, too little, too dirty water – intersects with sanitation. We combined eight focus group discussions (n=65 participants) with household surveys (n=545) to analyse disparities…
A Transect Through the Living Environments of Slovakia’s Roma Population: Urban, Sub-Urban, and Rural Settlements, and Exposure to Environmental and Water-Related Health Risks
The Roma population is one of Europe's largest ethnic minorities, often living in inadequate living conditions, worse than those of the majority population. They frequently lack access to essential services, even in high-income countries. This lack of basic services-particularly in combination with proximity to (stray) animals and human and solid waste-significantly increases environmental health risks, and leads to a higher rate of endoparasitic…
What is driving reliance on shared sanitation in urban informal settlements? Challenges and pathways for improvement
Effect of Turning Frequency on the Survival of Fecal Indicator Microorganisms during Aerobic Composting of Fecal Sludge with Sawdust
The study investigated the effect of turning frequency on survival of fecal indicator pathogens ( E. coli , Enterococcus spp., Salmonella spp. and helminth eggs) during fecal sludge (FS) co-composting with sawdust. Dewatered FS was mixed with sawdust and composted on a pilot scale using different turning frequencies-i.e., 3 days (3TF), 7 days (7TF), and 14 days (14TF). Composting piles were monitored weekly for survival of fecal indicator microor…
Recycling of Faecal Sludge: Nitrogen, Carbon and Organic Matter Transformation during Co-Composting of Faecal Sludge with Different Bulking Agents
This study investigated the effect of locally available bulking agents on the faecal sludge (FS) composting process and quality of the final FS compost. Dewatered FS was mixed with sawdust, coffee husk and brewery waste, and composted on a pilot scale. The evolution of physical and chemical characteristics of the composting materials was monitored weekly. Results indicate that bulking agents have a statistically significant effect ( p < 0.0001) o…
