Biomedical waste is any kind of either solid or liquid containing infectious, potentially infectiousmaterials medical, laboratory research origin from activities such as diagnosis, prevention & treatmentof diseases. Bio-medical has a higher potential infection and injury to the healthcare worker, patientand surrounding community. It consists human anatomical waste, animal microbiology &biotechn...

Medical centers including hospitals, clinics and places where diagnosis and treatment are conducted generate wastes that are highly hazardous and put people under risk of fatal diseases. Although the understanding of medical waste management and control techniques is important, technical elective courses that are offered in undergraduate chemical, civil or environmental engineering place less e...

A particularly contentious environmental issue between nations, and between regions within nations, is the policy attitude toward the disposal of waste, such as in landfills, and other potentially harmful industrial by-products like spent nuclear fuel. An international and interregional policy issue arises because many of these unwanted products are themselves tradeable commodities. For example...

The construction of waste incinerators in populated areas always causes substantial public concern. Since the heat from waste combustion can be recovered to power district heating networks and allows for the switch-off of domestic boilers in urbanized areas, predictive models for health assessment should also take into account the potential benefits of abating an important source of diffuse emi...

Bio-medical waste is generated mainly by health care establishments. The management of Bio-medical waste is still infant all across the world. It consists of Bio-medical waste as well as chemical waste with a portion of solid waste. This is a review paper which is prepared from the surveys of various research papers on improper biomedical waste. This research article is to survey the practice o...

BACKGROUND Medical establishment such as hospitals and research institutes generate sizable amount of hazardous waste. Health care workers, patients are at risk of acquiring infection from sharps and contamination of environment with multiple drug resistant microorganisms if wastes are not properly managed. OBJECTIVES To characterize types and evaluate waste disposal techniques employed in th...

In recent years, the production of food biomass waste has been increasing rapidly. This necessitates urgent measures to be taken so as utilize them. Since most contains useful bioactive substances, cloud-point extraction (CPE) emerged a promising solution valorize waste. CPE is an method employed for and preconcentration various chemical compounds, including polyphenols flavonoids. As with any ...
