breathablepitlat: Field application of breathable laminate-lined pit latrines to capture fecal contamination
Source:R/breathablepitlat.R
breathablepitlat.RdThis dataset assists with a study aims at capturing the pathogens and contaminants from pit latrines by lining them with a hydrophobic laminate. This paper demonstrates the transport of contaminants from two pour flush, twin-pit latrines in which one pit is lined and one is unlined. A direct comparison of soil/water quality parameters around each pit is done to elucidate the efficacy of a hydrophobic laminate liner at field-scale.
Format
A tibble with 6 rows and 8 variables
- site
There are two sites for the field test: site 1 and site 2. A twin-pit pour-flush pit latrine was constructed at each site.
- depth
The soil samples were collected at two different depths (1 m and 0.5 m) from ground level.
- lateral
The soil samples were collected from 0.5 m , 1 m, 5 m and 10 m lateral distance away from the pit.
- time
This describes the time (in days) of sample collection. The water and soil samples were collected over a period of 322 days.
- test
The 6 parameters tested from the samples collected in this field test. They include pH, electrical conductivity, total coliform, nitrate, ammonia, and phosphorus.
- location
The location of the soil samples marked P1 for unlined and P2 for lined pit. A, B, C, D, E, F are locations around the pits while M is the middle point between the lined and unlined pit.
- values
The values measured for said parameter
- num_test
The values measured for said parameter
