  Specific public health issues addressed in the MAHC are often spread across multiple chapters. Mini MAHCs are intended to make the MAHC more accessible by summarizing the code and annex language into a single, concise document. This will help environmental health practitioners and pool operators quickly find relevant MAHC guidelines and rationale so they can use the information to promote patron and staff health and safety.
  
  This Mini-MAHC Annex focuses on the rationale behind recommendations for reducing the spread of Cryptosporidium (Crypto) following contamination through: inactivation of Crypto by secondary U.V. or ozone disinfection systems, inspection of systems, and remediation after diarrheal fecal incidents to prevent the spread of germs that cause disease associated with swallowing contaminated water. It references content from the 2018 MAHC Annex (3rd Edition).
