The risk of pollution of fresh water in water sources whose distance and construction do not meet the requirements of 16.87 times and 13.29 times, respectively. The risk of hand contamination due to bad behavior and hand washing methods is 15.65 times and 15.47 times, respectively. Further, the risk of disease of cutlery due to inadequate washing and storage is 9.32 times and 9.96 times, respectively.
