4. POPULATION CONTROL
- NHP 2017 target: TFR 2.1 (replacement level)
- NFHS-5 TFR: 2.0 (first time below replacement)
- Methods: Education, family planning services, incentives, PNDT Act (1994), minimum marriage age (18F / 21M)
- Population Policy 2000: Achieve NRR=1 by 2010, TFR=2.1 by 2010
5. DEMOGRAPHY
| Indicator | Definition |
|---|---|
| CBR | Live births per 1000 mid-year population |
| CDR | Deaths per 1000 mid-year population |
| TFR | Avg. children per woman (15-49 yrs) |
| IMR | Deaths <1 yr per 1000 live births |
| MMR | Maternal deaths per 1,00,000 live births |

7. WATER PURIFICATION METHODS
| Method | Details |
|---|---|
| Sedimentation | Particles settle by gravity |
| Coagulation | Alum (aluminium sulphate) added → floc formation |
| Filtration | Slow sand filter (best bacteriological removal) / Rapid sand filter |
| Disinfection | Chlorination – residual chlorine 0.5 mg/L at consumer end |
| Boiling | Most reliable household method |
| SODIS | Solar disinfection (plastic bottle + sunlight 6 hrs) |
HTST (High-Temperature Short Time): 72°C for 15 seconds – used for milk pasteurization
8. NOISE POLLUTION
- Permissible limit: 90 dB for 8 hours (OSHA); residential area: 55 dB day / 45 dB night
- Effects: Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), hypertension, stress, sleep disturbance
- Prevention: Engineering controls (soundproofing), PPE (earplugs), legislative control

- Clinical features: Rice-water stools, severe watery diarrhoea, dehydration, "washerwoman hands"
- Treatment: ORS (primary), IV fluids (severe), Doxycycline (antibiotic)
- Prevention: Safe water, sanitation, OCV (Oral Cholera Vaccine), case isolation
28. SEWAGE MANAGEMENT
- Methods of sewage disposal:
- Dilution (into rivers/sea)
- Land application (irrigation)
- Sewage treatment plant (STP): primary (sedimentation) → secondary (biological: trickling filter/activated sludge) → tertiary (advanced)
- Cesspool / Septic tank: Used in areas without sewer lines
- Imhoff tank: Combined sedimentation + sludge digestion
29. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
- Hierarchy (3Rs): Reduce → Reuse → Recycle
- Methods of disposal:
- Sanitary landfill (best for MSW)
- Composting (organic waste)
- Incineration (hospital/hazardous waste)
- Vermicomposting
- BMW Rules 2016: Color coding – Yellow (infectious/pathological), Red (recyclable plastic), Blue (glass/metallic), Black (cytotoxic/chemical)
30. HTST (High-Temperature Short-Time Pasteurization)
- Temperature: 72°C for 15 seconds (then rapidly cooled to <10°C)
- Purpose: Destroys pathogenic organisms in milk without affecting nutritional quality
- Also: LTLT (Low-Temperature Long Time): 63°C for 30 minutes
- UHT (Ultra High Temperature): 135°C for 2 seconds (shelf-stable milk)
31. COLD CHAIN
- System for storing and transporting vaccines at +2°C to +8°C
- Exceptions: OPV stored at −15 to −25°C; Varicella at −15°C
