Typical road, rail, air and water transport results in exhausts that are harmful to living beings. Hence the pollutants must be filtered before it is released into the atmosphere. Various filtering methods are implemented to decontaminate the pollutant substances such as nitrogen, sulphur and carbon. Several approaches are enacted by the government too where the vehicles are permitted to discharge the exhaust within the specified limits. When these limits are strictly followed, air pollution can be limited to a certain extend. Still these approaches may not be utmost effective, unless the exhausts are filtered and thus this article deals with the available filtering techniques. Since nitrogen oxide is the most pollutant substance among other emissions, methods like Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), Lean Nitrogen Oxides Trap (LNT) techniques etc. are carried out to eliminate it.
The failure to address the bio-medical wastes, has led the health domain into a place where a patient who has just undergone a treatment and treated successfully, to still be prone to many diseases which he hasn't faced at all. The patient can grow immunity to a disease that he was cured of. But, that very same patient, in no case can build a resistant power to resist diseases, if his surrounding is not infective free. The improper management of biomedical wastes have not only affected the patients inside the clinical establishments, but also the people who have no contact with the clinical establishments at all. In this scenario, proper sanitation practices must be adopted and biomedical wastes should be managed for a disease free and hygienic clinical surrounding. This review focuses on the need for biomedical waste management in clinical establishments, emphasizes the possible sources of bio-wastes, methods and technologies for combating and minimizing bio-hazards arising from biowastes and finally outlines the overall process of biomedical waste management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
