Extreme water pollution is a severe environmental accident, endangering the local or even regional safety of human community and of the entire environment as well. Adequate awareness and preparedness to respond to such emergency situations must be reached in all strata of population. Developing a national training and education strategy is the responsibility of all level authorities. Training and education endeavors must offer basic knowledge about epidemiology, prevention and control measures to be taken efficiently and promptly. Training must be addresses to all individuals having direct responsibility for protecting the environment, who may affect the environment in the performance of their job, or who have overall responsibility for environmental performance. Education or training has to ensure such individuals could meet their environmental responsibilities.
