Article Synopsis
- Informal settlements in Nairobi face a high risk for epidemic disease due to inadequate water and sanitation systems, particularly during cholera outbreaks.
- A study in 2010 analyzed water quality in 398 households, finding varying levels of chlorine residual and E. coli contamination; some water sources met international safety guidelines while others did not.
- Higher free chlorine residual levels and access to household water treatment significantly reduced E. coli contamination, suggesting that improving water quality in these communities could mitigate cholera transmission risks.
