Background Aims: Quality cell manufacturing processes require a clean laboratory environment.
Methods: This report was aimed at describing current cleaning and sanitization practices reported by facilities that manufacture many types of cellular therapy products for clinical use. It is our hope that this report may provide the groundwork for guidance recommendations directed at developing consensus standards for cleaning and sanitization practices across the globe. Facility sanitization is a central issue to regulatory and accreditation bodies. Facilities are required to develop plans to assess sanitization practices and test cleaning effectiveness.
Results: This document provides information on how this is performed in different facilities and may allow newer, smaller or less developed facilities to build, enhance or revise their current quality program by using experience and expertise in facility sanitization reported herein.
Conclusions: This report summarizes the results of the latest survey and compares results with those previously reported. New and relevant trends in the field provide important information and will provide important information for establishing guidelines.

Access to safe sanitation facilities remains a critical public health concern, especially in rapidly urbanizing countries like Ghana. This study investigates the determinants of household toilet ownership among property owners in three urban districts in Ghana. Using a cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 1,256 property owners selected through a multi-stage stratified sampling procedure.

The study examines the concentrations of heavy metals in agricultural soil, compost from landfills, maize plants, and spinach crops. The results show that compost from landfills had levels exceeding EU requirements for Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn. However, agricultural soil contained trace amounts of heavy metals.

Anaemia continues to be a major public health challenge in developing countries, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study estimated the proportion of anaemia cases that could be potentially prevented among children aged 6-59 months in Togo. Data from the 2017 national Malaria Indicator survey in Togo, the last one conducted to date, was used for this study.

Intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs), caused by helminths and/or protozoa, continue to be a significant public health concern in Indonesia. Water access, sanitation, and hygiene practices (WASH) are influential factors for IPIs, especially among children. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between WASH and IPIs among school-aged children.

Viruses can interact with a broad range of inorganic and organic particles in water and wastewater. These associations can protect viruses from inactivation by quenching chemical disinfectants or blocking ultraviolet light transmission, and a much higher dosage of disinfectants is required to inactivate particle-associated viruses than free viruses. There have been only few studies of the association of viruses with particles in wastewater, particularly in secondary treated effluent.
