Health Risks for Sanitation Service Workers along a Container-Based Urine Collection System and Resource Recovery Value Chain

Dataset Objective

To assess occupational exposure to rotavirus and Shigella spp. during CBS urine collection and subsequent struvite fertilizer production in eThekwini, South Africa.

Context

With container-based sanitation (CBS) within a comprehensive service system value chain thought to offer a low-cost sanitation option with potential for revenue generation but likely to increase microbial health risks to sanitation service workers, the study assessed occupational exposure to rotavirus and Shigella spp. during CBS urine collection and subsequent struvite fertilizer production in eThekwini, South Africa.
