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.
