Water Quality and Gastroenteritis in Children by Junior Gardini is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study investigates the correlation between drinking water contamination and the incidence of gastroenteritis in children aged 0-9 in the AMFRI region of Brazil from 2018 to 2024. Results indicate a weak positive correlation between E. coli contamination and gastroenteritis rates, with children aged 0-4 being the most vulnerable. Seasonal peaks in gastroenteritis cases align with increased tourism, highlighting the need for continuous water quality surveillance and improved sanitation measures.
