Study Notes
NAVMED P-5010 Overview
- Manual of Naval Preventive Medicine focused on health and safety protocols.
Chapter 6: Water Supply Afloat
- Covers the standards for shipboard potable water systems, including design and maintenance.
- Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEASYSCOM) ensures safe drinking water access via shipboard systems.
- Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFACENGCOM) provides guidelines for potable water from approved sources at naval facilities.
- Health standards for water quality afloat established by Chief, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED).
- Sources of potable water include approved shore sources and ship-based production like distillation and reverse osmosis.
- Minimal water allowance in emergencies set at 2 gallons per person per day, while new ship standards specify 50 gallons per person.
Water Safety Measures
- Distillation plants utilize heat and vapor to purify water.
- Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems recycle used water through filtration.
- Potable water pipes marked with dark blue caps; hoses should be labeled "POTABLE WATER ONLY" in 1-inch letters every 10 feet.
- Disinfection of shipboard water achieved by maintaining a minimum of 0.2 ppm of free available chlorine (FAC) or total bromine residual (TBR) after 30 minutes of contact.
Waste Management Terms
- "Black Water" refers to human waste from toilets and urinals.
- "Grey Water" is wastewater from culinary, bathing, and laundry activities.
- "Cross Connection" signifies any link between potable water and contaminants.
Chapter 7: Wastewater Treatment
- Focuses on the treatment and disposal methods of wastewater both ashore and afloat.
Chapter 8: Navy Entomology and Pest Control
- Vectors like arthropods and rodents pose health risks to personnel and must be controlled.
- Economic pests damage structures and stored products; objectionable organisms are simply termed pests.
- Pesticides are substances used to manage pest populations through various classifications, including:
- Acaricides for mites and ticks.
- Fungicides for fungi control.
- Herbicides for undesired vegetation.
- Insecticides for insects, with specific types for adults (adulticides), larvae (larvicides), and eggs (ovicides).
- Molluscicides for snails and rodenticides for rodents.
Common Pests and Infestations
- House Fly is the most widely distributed insect pest.
- Mosquitos are the top disease-transmitting insects, with Crab Louse found primarily in pubic and anal regions.
- German Cockroaches are problematic in food service environments due to their high reproductive rates.
Pest Control Measures
- Use of rat guards at a minimum of 36 inches outside ships, positioned 2 feet from the ship and 6 feet from shore.
Chapter 9: Preventative Medicine for Ground Forces
- Focuses on sanitation and waste disposal methods for troops in the field.
- "Cat Holes" are used for human waste disposal during marches.
- Straddle Trenches serve as temporary waste disposal for 1-3 days, accommodating 25 people.
Latrine Location Guidelines
- Latrines must be situated 100 feet from natural water sources, 100 yards from food service areas, and 50 feet from sleeping quarters.
- Dimensions for Straddle Trench should be 4 feet long, 1 foot wide, and 2.5 feet deep, allowing two people to use it simultaneously.
Heat Stress Monitoring
- Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) is the standard for assessing the impact of heat stress on personnel.
