New methods for the reduction and remediation of hazardous wastes like carcinogenic organic solvents, toxic materials, and nuclear contamination are vital to environmental health. Procedures for effective waste reduction, detection, and removal are important components of any such methods. Toward this end, polymeric smart materials are finding useful applications. Polymer-bound smart catalysts ...

The pharmaceutical production industries generate wastewaters that should be properly treated because in some cases they are highly toxic. For this reason the safe inactivation before disposing them into the environment must be guarantee. This paper deals with an ozone treatment system for the wastewaters generated in the cytostatic production. The cytostatics present in the wastewaters treatme...

In the environment, two main sources of heavy metals are natural backgrounds derived from parent rocks and anthropogenic contamination including mineral industrial wastes, tailing damps of sulfide mines, agrochemicals, and other outputs of industrial activities and factories. In this work, the physico-chemical aspects of the magnetic Nano- mineral surfaces are studied in contrast to acid mine d...

introduction medical waste contains highly toxic metals, toxic chemicals, pathogenic viruses and bacteria, which can lead to pathological dysfunction of the human body. the hazards of exposure to hospital waste can range from gastro-enteric, respiratory, and skin infections to more deadly diseases such as hepatitis b & c, and hiv/aids. additionally, medical waste contains potentially harmful mi...

Abstract The amount of the toxic waste generated in hospitals and medical facilities is steadily increasing. Although, centralized disposal or management service solutions for removal are available highly developed industrialized countries; this does not, however, apply to developing emerging countries. For reason, a compact sterilization shredding machine was developed. steam used (temperature...

CONTEXT Industrial waste (which is composed of various toxic chemicals), changes to the disposal process, and addition of chemicals should all be monitored and controlled carefully in the industrial waste industry to reduce the health hazard to workers. CASE PRESENTATION Five workers in an industrial waste plant developed acute toxic hepatitis, one of whom died after 3 months due to fulminant...

introduction: nowadays, advancements in industries, technology and human welfare level have lead to accumulation of solid wastes and have endangered environmental health. incorrect waste management intensifies this problem. recycling and composting (transformation of organic waste to humus) are the most important ways in waste management. health and safety of the compost is an important issue b...

The composition of municipal wastewater and sewage sludge reflects the use and proliferation of elements and contaminants within society. In Sweden, official statistics show that concentrations of toxic metals in municipal sewage sludge have steadily decreased, by up to 90 %, since the 1970s, due to environmental programmes and statutory limits on metals in sludge and soil. Results from long-te...
