Air pollution is a major problem in Bangladesh. The country has one of the highest rates of air pollution in the world. This is due to a number of factors, including:
Indoor air pollution: This is caused by the burning of biomass fuels, such as wood, charcoal, and dung, for cooking and heating.
Outdoor air pollution: This is caused by the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, for transportation and industry.
Air pollution has a number of negative health impacts, including:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): This is a lung disease that makes it difficult to breathe.
Heart disease: Air pollution can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and heart attack.
Cancer: Air pollution has been linked to a number of types of cancer, including lung cancer, bladder cancer, and kidney cancer.
Premature death: Air pollution is estimated to cause over 70,000 premature deaths in Bangladesh each year.
Slide 3: Microbial technology for air pollution control
Microbial technology is a promising new approach to air pollution control. Microbial technologies use living organisms, such as bacteria and fungi, to remove pollutants from the air.
There are a number of different microbial technologies that can be used to control air pollution. Some of the most promising technologies include:
Biofiltration: Biofiltration is a process that uses living organisms, such as bacteria and fungi, to remove pollutants from the air. Biofilters are typically made of a porous material, such as wood chips or activated carbon, that is colonized by the living organisms. As the air passes through the biofilter, the pollutants are absorbed by the living organisms or adsorbed onto the surface of the biofilter.
Bioventing: Bioventing is a process that uses living organisms to remove pollutants from soil or groundwater. Bioventing systems typically consist of a series of perforated pipes that are inserted into the soil or groundwater. Air is pumped through the pipes, which helps to aerate the soil or groundwater and promote the growth of living organisms. As the living organisms grow, they consume the pollutants in the soil or groundwater.
Bioremediation: Bioremediation is a process that uses living organisms to degrade pollutants. Bioremediation systems typically involve the addition of nutrients and oxygen to the contaminated site, which helps to promote the growth of living organisms. As the living organisms grow, they degrade the pollutants in the contaminated site.
This document discusses grey biotechnology, which refers to environmental applications of biotechnology focused on maintaining biodiversity and removing pollutants using microorganisms. Grey biotechnology plays a role in managing industrial pollution and encouraging biofuel use. It also works on recycling, reusing, and disposing of wastes to reduce environmental pollution, protect organisms, and conserve biodiversity. By eliminating environmental pollution, grey biotechnology reduces health risks from factors like contaminated air and water.
Bioremediation is a method which utilizing the life forms to kill or expel contamination from waste. It is vital to comprehend that this type of waste remediation utilizes no poisonous chemicals, in spite of the fact that it might utilize a living organism that can be detrimental in specific situations. In other words, we can say that bioremediation is the use of living microorganisms to degrade environmental pollutants or to prevent environment from pollution. It is an important technology for removing pollutants from the environment and thus restoring the original natural surroundings so that the environment can be prevent from pollution. It can be divided into three phases or levels. Firstly, by natural attenuation in which the contaminants are reduced by native microorganisms without any human augmentation, secondly the biostimulation is employed where nutrients and oxygen are applied in the systems to improve their effectiveness and to accelerate the process of biodegradation. Finally, during bioaugmentation microorganisms are added in the systems. The techniques of bioremediation are now widely being applied to remove the pollutants or contaminants from the environment. Types of BioremediationThere are much more than nine types of bioremediation, yet the accompanying are the most well known ways in which it is utilized. The list of some of the bioremediation techniques are as follows Phytoremediation Phytoremediation is a process of utilization of plants to expel contaminants. The plants can draw the contaminants from the soil and water into their structures and clutch them, adequately expelling them from soil or water.Bioventing Bioventing is an in situ remediation technique that includes blowing of air through soil to expand oxygen rates in the waste. It works well with light contaminants as which can evaporate easily. It is a very efficient approach to neutralize certain oxygen sensitive metals or chemicals with the help of microorganisms.Bioleaching This technique includes expelling metals from soil with the help of living life forms especially bacteria. Certain sorts of life forms attract to heavy metals and other type of contaminants and ingest them. This technique has widely being used to remove the metals like lead, zinc, cobalt, lead, gold etc.Landfarming This technique involves placing the contaminants soil in a biocell which is consisting of a linear surrounded by a berm. After that the soil placed on the linear and turned periodically to help the microorganism to breakdown the pollutants.Bioreactor The utilization of uniquely outlined containers to hold the waste while bioremediation happens.Composting Containing waste so a characteristic decay and remediation process happens.Bioaugmentation Adding microorganisms and living organisms to fortify the same in waste to permit them to assume control and purify the region.Rhizofiltration The utilization of plants to expel metals in water.Biostimulation The utilization of organisms int
Biofiltration is an air pollution control technique which involves bio degradation of contaminants under the action of microorganisms, diffused in a thin layer of moisture known as “BIOFILM”, mainly used for elimination of malodorous gas emissions and low concentrations of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
The document discusses environmental biotechnology, which deals with topics like cleaning up contamination and managing wastes. It has relevance for many industries as it can help reduce costs and improve compliance with environmental regulations. Some key applications of environmental biotechnology include waste treatment, pollution control during manufacturing, and bioremediation of contaminated land. It provides alternatives to traditional waste disposal and chemical-based cleanup methods that are more sustainable and cost-effective. The economic factors will always influence the adoption of environmental biotechnology solutions.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Slide 2: Introduction
Air pollution is a major problem in Bangladesh. The country has one of the highest rates of air pollution in the world. This is due to a number of factors, including:
Indoor air pollution: This is caused by the burning of biomass fuels, such as wood, charcoal, and dung, for cooking and heating.
Outdoor air pollution: This is caused by the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, for transportation and industry.
Air pollution has a number of negative health impacts, including:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): This is a lung disease that makes it difficult to breathe.
Heart disease: Air pollution can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and heart attack.
Slide 3: Microbial technology for air pollution control
Microbial technology is a promising new approach to air pollution control. Microbial technologies use living organisms, such as bacteria and fungi, to remove pollutants from the air.
Biofiltration: Biofiltration is a process that uses living organisms, such as bacteria and fungi, to remove pollutants from the air. Biofilters are typically made of a porous material, such as wood chips or activated carbon, that is colonized by the living organisms. As the air passes through the biofilter, the pollutants are absorbed by the living organisms or adsorbed onto the surface of the biofilter.
Bioventing: Bioventing is a process that uses living organisms to remove pollutants from soil or groundwater. Bioventing systems typically consist of a series of perforated pipes that are inserted into the soil or groundwater. Air is pumped through the pipes, which helps to aerate the soil or groundwater and promote the growth of living organisms. As the living organisms grow, they consume the pollutants in the soil or groundwater.
Bioremediation: Bioremediation is a process that uses living organisms to degrade pollutants. Bioremediation systems typically involve the addition of nutrients and oxygen to the contaminated site, which helps to promote the growth of living organisms. As the living organisms grow, they degrade the pollutants in the contaminated site.
Slide 4: Microbial technology for air pollution control in Bangladesh
Microbial technology has the potential to be a major contributor to air pollution control in Bangladesh. However, there are a number of challenges that need to be addressed before microbial technology can be widely adopted in Bangladesh.
