These guidelines have been developed within the framework of EcoSanRes, an international network of ecological sanitation expertise funded by Sida, the Swedish International Development Cooperation.

The framework for microbial exposure control and management in relation to the use of wastewater and excreta was developed and published by WHO in the 1980s (WHO, 1989). These guidelines are currently under revision. Within this current EcoSanRes report, the focus is on treatment and handling of faeces and urine, accounting for current information of risk management and circumscribing to a source-separation strategy..
