Abstract: 

The presence of the causal effects between the pollution of the environment of the urbanized territories and the population morbidity with enteric infections was confirmed from the evidence collected by calculating the positive meanings of the Odds Ratio (OR) and Relative Risk (RR) with trusted confidential borders, Identified Density Ratio (IDR) and associated risks, as well as the participating degree (X%) of bacterial pollution of the territories with respect to the sickness rate compared with the control territories.

Keywords:
