PUBLIC HEALTH MATTERS: ASK THE EXPERTS – A FREE WEBINAR PRESENTED BY ECOLAB

July 13, 2016 – Infectious diseases such as Influenza, Norovirus, West Nile fever, Legionnaires’ disease and now Zika virus are all major public health concerns around the world.

A 2014 study published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, “Global Rise in Human Infectious Disease Outbreaks,” examined the global changes in the frequency of outbreaks of infectious disease between 1980 and 2013. The study found that the number of outbreaks, as well as the number of diseases, have both increased significantly since 1980¹.

“Despite an increase in overall outbreaks,” according to the study, “global improvements in prevention, early detection, control and treatment are becoming more effective at reducing the number of people infected,”¹ Join Ecolab experts to ask your questions related to public health issues and strategies in order to achieve cleaner, safer healthier environments for your customers and staff.
