Mortality risks with poor sanitation
Environmental problems represent major threats to the
health, quality of life, and longevity of people residing in all countries, but
arguably more so in the developing world. What are some of the mortality risk
factors and burdens associated with inadequate supplies of clean water and poor
sanitation that disproportionately affect residents of developing countries? Do
you think the risks to quality of life and longevity associated with these
factors are greater for children or adults? Provide an example or statistic
from your research to illustrate your point.
