Abstract:

<strong>ABSTRACT</strong> Biomedical waste is a special category, complex waste, which is to be handled scientifically. As app. 67% of biomedical waste is general waste, so this waste needs to be segregated from the remaining hazardous waste so that the overall harmful impact of biomedical waste on environment and human health can be reduced. This concept of waste segregation and category wise waste treatment is called sustainable waste management. For this it is essential that the waste handlers should have an adequate knowledge about biomedical waste so that appropriate treatment options are

ABSTRACT Aim The present study aimed to obtain information about knowledge, execution, and attitude toward biomedical waste (BMW) and its management. Materials and methods In the present study, a self-administered closed-ended questionnaire was designed to conduct a cross-sectional survey. It was distributed among 614 dentists (institution associated or private practitioners) in the cities of North India. The questionnaire comprised 36 questions regarding knowledge, execution, and attitude toward BMW and its management. Frequency distribution and chi-square test along with paired t-test were u

Abstract:

Background: Biomedical waste (BMW) poses a significant health hazard, especially for healthcare workers directly involved in its generation and handling. Inadequate knowledge and poor practices often result in occupational exposure and environmental risks. This study aimed to assess the impact of structured BMW management training on knowledge and practices among hospital staff in three healthcare facilities in Rajasthan - General, Janana, and Covid Hospitals. Methods: A total of 156 participants including staff nurses, laboratory technicians, housekeeping staff, and class 4/ward boys were rec

Abstract:

Background: Medicines reuse involves dispensing quality-checked, unused medication returned by one patient for another, instead of disposal as waste. This is prohibited in UK community pharmacy because storage conditions in a patient’s home could potentially impact on the quality, safety and efficacy of returned medicines. Our 2017 survey examining patients’ intentions to reuse medicines found many favoured medicines reuse. Our aim was to analyse the qualitative comments to explore people’s interpretations of what makes medicines (non-)reusable. Methods: Thematic analysis was used to scrutiniz

The occupational exposures to NSIs are considered to be much higher in the developing world and multiple risk factors eg. improper use of protective equipment (like failure to use suitable-sized gloves), working in surgical or intensive care units, insufficient work experience, young age, needle recapping, unsuitable needle disposal, intravenous cannulation may contribute to NSIs.

Background Health care workers (HCWs) involved in day-to-day care and other healthcare activities play a significant role in biomedical waste (BMW) management. The World Health Organization stated some of the causes for the failure of BMW management, namely, lack of awareness of the health hazards related to BMW and inadequate trained HCWs in BMW management. The present study assessed knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) towards BMW management among the HCWs in northern Saudi Arabia.

Abstract. Elevated hydrogen sulfide (H2S) levels have been observed from open-air dairy manure storages that contain gypsum bedding. Gypsum (calcium sulfate), recycled from construction waste and manufacturing defects, provides a cost-effective bedding alternative for dairy cows. Gypsum bedding is reported to control moisture and bacteria in the stalls and can improve soil structure when land-applied. However, gypsum increases H2S production in the anaerobic environment of deep manure storages, which is released in dangerous concentrations when the manure is agitated. This study was undertaken

Space management has been widely examined in commercial facilities, educational facilities, and hospitals but not in China’s institutional care facilities. Poor spatial arrangements, such as wasted space, dysfunctionality, and environment mismanagement, are increasing; in turn, the occupancy rate is decreasing due to residential dissatisfaction. To address these problems, this paper’s objective is to explore the space management goals (SMGs) in institutional care facilities in China. Systematic literature analysis was adopted to set SMGs’ principles, to identify nine theoretical SMGs, and to d
