- Abstract:
- In June 1986, bacteriological and chemical examinations of drinking-water were carried out in Abeokuta (Ogun State, Nigeria) and in surrounding areas. The analysis showed that the population of this region is not provided with drinking-water of suitable quality, as defined by international standards. In could also be established that secondary contamination, due to inappropriate transport and storage of the water, leads to further reduction in the quality of the already contaminated water. These results show that this contaminated drinking-water must be considered as the major cause of numerous intestinal infections.
