- How Hybrid Organizations Turn Antagonistic Assets into Complementarities (2015, background): “Many people (mostly children) die annually in developing countries and unsafe water along with poor hygiene and sanitation are important contributors.(25) Rather than focusing on costly and complex water treatment and distribution systems, LifeStraw offers a point-of-use treatment as an approach.”
- Burden of disease from inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene in low- and middle-income settings: a retrospective analysis of data from 145 countries (2014, background): “Finally, safer water environments could have prevented 244 000 deaths from drowning, globally (Pr€ussUst€un & Corval an 2007; Pr€uss-Ust€un et al. 2008).”
- The Characterization of Feces and Urine: A Review of the Literature to Inform Advanced Treatment Technology (2015, background): “Diseases that are associated with inadequate sanitation are particularly associated with poverty and account for 10% of the total disease burden worldwide (Prüss-Üstün et al., 2008).”
- Preparation and antibacterial activity of chitosan-based nanocomposites containing bentonite-supported silver and zinc oxide nanoparticles for water disinfection (2015, background): “It is estimated that 10% of diseases worldwide can be prevented by improving the water supply, sanitation, hygiene and management of water resources (Prüss-Üstün et al., 2008; WHO, 2013).”

- Toilets Can Work: Short and Medium Run Health Impacts of Addressing Complementarities and Externalities in Water and Sanitation (2015, background): “We focus on fecal-oral disease, diarrhea in particular, since reviews typically estimate that nearly 90% of deaths preventable by improvements to water, sanitation and hygiene are in the fecal-oral group (Prüss-Üstün et al. 2008).”
