- Toilets Can Work: Short and Medium Run Health Impacts of Addressing Complementarities and Externalities in Water and Sanitation (2015, background): “…include reductions in the incidence of other morbidities such as stunting or soil-transmitted helminth infections (Spears, Ghosh, and Cumming 2013, Strunz et al. 2014), decreases in time spent collecting water (Pattanayak et al. 2010, Kremer et al. 2011, Devoto et al. 2012), and the amenity value…”
- Burden of disease from inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene for selected adverse health outcomes: An updated analysis with a focus on low- and middle-income countries (2019, background): “Additionally, the prevention of soil-transmitted helminth infections might require the proper treatment of human waste and adequate food hygiene to prevent infections that occur through the use of human faeces as fertilizer (Anuar et al., 2014; Strunz et al., 2014).”
