The document discusses proper waste disposal during emergencies. It notes that improper waste disposal can contaminate water and spread diseases. It recommends temporary latrines for containing human waste, such as pit latrines. Proper sanitation is important for controlling disease outbreaks. The document argues that human waste should not be seen as waste, but as a resource that can be recycled through composting as fertilizer. Educating displaced people on sanitation, hygiene and recycling humanure is important for health during emergencies.

2. Waste Disposal during an Emergency
Waste disposal in emergency is always a question mark and a big challenge for
humanitarian organizations. We provide health care services and facilities in
emergency but the diseases like cholera, dysentery and diarrhea are increasing due to
water contaminated by human waste. According to World Health Organization, water
borne diseases are responsible for the deaths of 4000 children every day.
Water contaminated by faecal matter is the single largest cause of disease in the world, and
is killing over 4 million people each year with diarrhea and intestinal parasites. Many of the
outbreaks that have struck humankind have been the result of poor sanitation and humanitarian
services l- emergency medical camps and other doorstep health facilities face failure to control
the diseases due to poor sanitation and faecal matters which contaminate the water used for
drinking and sanitation purposes.
Use of latrine is human need and if proper sanitation is not observed then other health services
are insufficient to control the diseases. In emergency the temporary latrines are required for
containing human faecal waste. There are many ways to dispose the waste depends on physical
and social environment of the area and -to dig a pit latrine
where the ground is suitable for digging up to at least 5 feet
deep or to keep a "slop jar" with a securely fitting lid and a
handle for carrying. This is an easy way to contain human
waste without containing any health risk. Raise pit latrine is
also used where the ground is hard to dig or digging is not
permissible. Burning pit latrine is another way to dispose the
waste during emergency and so many other ways of disposing
the waste to live in a healthy environment.
But
It is a question mark that why we think today for resolving the problem and the answer is very
simple that we have created the problem and ignored the natural
process therefore we face the problem. Actually there is no
waste in nature. One organism's excrement is another's food -
it's very simple. Everything is recycled through natural systems
so waste doesn't exist. Humans create waste because we insist
on ignoring the natural systems that we are dependent upon. We
are so adept at doing so that we take waste for granted and have
given the word a prominent place in our vocabulary. We have
kitchen "waste," garden "waste," agricultural "waste," human
"waste," municipal "waste," "biowaste," and on and on. Yet, our
long-term survival as a species requires us to learn to live in
harmony with our host planet. This also requires that we
understand natural cycles and incorporate them into our day to
day lives especially in emergency when there are no

the natural way of recycling.
"Human waste" is a term that has traditionally been used to refer only to human excrements,
namely fecal material and urine, which are by-products of the human digestive system. When
discarded, these materials are named as human waste. When recycled for agricultural purposes,
however, they're known by various names, including night soil (when applied raw to fields in
Asia) and human manure or humanure. Humanure is not waste - it is a valuable organic resource
material rich in soil nutrients, in contrast to human waste, which is a dangerous discarded
pollutant. Humanure originated from the soil and can be quite readily returned to the soil,
especially if converted to humus through the composting process. Admittedly, humanure is not
as benign and easy to work with as grass clippings, but when properly recycled, it makes a
wonderful soil additive.
Human waste (discarded feces and urine), on the other hand, creates significant environmental
problems, provides a route of transmission for disease, and deprives humanity of valuable soil
fertility. It's also one of the primary ingredients in sewage, and is largely responsible for much of
the world's water pollution.
A clear distinction must be drawn between humanure and sewage. Sewage can include waste
from many sources (industries, hospitals, and garages, for example) as well as the host of
contaminants that seep from these sources (industrial chemicals, heavy metals, oil, and grease,
for example). Humanure is strictly human faecal material and urine.
What, in truth, is human waste? Human waste is cigarette butts, plastic six-pack rings, Styrofoam
clamshell burger boxes, deodorant cans, disposable diapers, worn out appliances, un-recycled
pop bottles, wasted newspapers, junk car tires, spent batteries, most junk mail, nuclear
contamination, food packaging, shrink wrap, toxic chemical dumps, exhaust emissions, the five
billion gallons of drinking water we flush down our toilets every day, and the millions of tons of
organic material discarded into the environment year after year.
Emergency facilitation for displaced people
 Proper education regarding health, hygiene, water and sanitation: First of all it is
necessary that people may know the difference between waste and human manure
then they will be guided on ‘how to dispose’ the substance and live healthy.
 Humanure latrine: A small cabin or room is needed where one is comfortable to excrete
and bury it in nearly half kg soil dust. No smell, no spreading of diseases and no hectic
work is feared. Every one during his/ need will use the Humanure latrine and will cover
the compost with soil dust. When space covers, it will be reused for 2nd, 3rd and, 4th and
5th time as it dries in a week. The humanure covered with soil will be used as the best
local fertilizer after a month. Only a cabin, soil and toilet paper is needed for the whole
process. This is not new for the Asian people but just a re-polished form of the practice
which they do in the fields and farms but there they don’t cover the manure and leave
in open space which may spread the diseases.
