            AREAS FOR CONCERN

            13. Perdisan Toilets.     Perdisan toilets are a constant source
            of problems. The chemical used, caustic soda, is highly toxic and
            injuries have resulted from its improper use. Safety data sheets
            have not been supplied. The contractors who were supposed to come
            and empty the toilets have not matevialised so,          in most
            locations, the waste is being piped into the ground. In
            discussion with Engr it has been recommended that Perdisans
            should not be used any more.

            14. Cleaning Mate@@. There appears to be a general shortage
            of cleaning materials, particularly in forward areas. Hygiene
            personnel are making up disinfectant solutions for kitchens as
            a stop-gap. Unit medical off icers should encourage quartermasters
            to indent for sufficient quantities of detergents and bleaches.

            Su    y

            26. Diarrhoea remains the most important problem facing us.
            There has been no reduction in its incidence during this past
            week.
