Almost 90% of the 1.8 million people who die annually from simple diarrhea are children under five.
Over the past ten years, diarrhea has killed more children than all the people lost in armed conflicts
since the Second World War.

ChemiSan. A Biotech Innovation That Can Change Our World
Last year, readers of the British Medical Journal voted sanitation as the greatest medical
milestone ever, over penicillin and anesthesia. Shockingly though, according to UNICEF, 42% of the world's
population do not have toilets or access to basic sanitation. The Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative
Council (WSSCC) states that 500,000 tons of feces are openly defecated every day in the environment around
the world, exposing millions of people to disease and squalor.
ChemiSan can help change the world. It is a microbiological and chemical formulation that can, in just a
matter of days, break down human waste into an environmentally-friendly, odorless humus. ChemiSan has the
potential to be one of the greatest sanitation advances ever, bringing basic cleanliness and dignity to
people and places never before realized.
A Simple Solution to Human Waste Disposal in Developing Countries
The biggest obstacle to sanitation throughout the world is the high cost of building and maintaining
infrastructure. In most cases, the money just isn't there. The challenge for people and nations seems
insurmountable. ChemiSan offers an inexpensive, simple solution for human waste disposal. It can be
implemented quickly and efficiently.
In Emergency and Disaster Situations
Tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes and floods can have devastating consequences. When Nature unleashes it
fury, human waste can easily contaminate wells and water systems. During catastrophic events, the
containment of human waste may be the biggest single obstacle in maintaining public health. ChemiSan
products can be easily transported into those hard hit areas, having an immediate impact upon the
health and well-being of those in distress.
In the Back Country and Where Toilets are Unavailable
Whenever people go into areas without toilet facilities, there is added risk of soil and water contamination
by human waste. Many outdoor and recreational areas are under environmental assault due to the haphazard
disposal of human waste. ChemiSan, used in conjunction with our patented Waterless GottaGoToilet,
and GottaGo waste bags can help protect our environment and those who enjoy it.
