Composting is nature's process of recycling decomposed organic materials into a rich soil known as compost. Anything that was once living will decompose
Although 76-90% of the BMW is non-hazardous and harmless as any of the other municipal waste, the remaining 10-26% is hazardous to humans or animals and deleterious to environment. Inappropriate handling of the BMW may have serious public health consequences and the significant impact on the environment. Major hospitals contribute substantially to the quantum of generation of the BMW. Smaller hospitals, the nursing homes, clinics, the pathological laboratories and blood banks also have major contribution to BMW. The common methods adopted for the BMW disposal are incineration and land filling. However, these methods are mainly considered more expensive and less ecofriendly due to their main negative impact on the environment

This review study aims at biomedical waste management. Biomedical waste management is significant to defend the environment and health of the population. Necessity of Biomedical Waste Management has attracted attention because of Inadequate management of these wastes produced in health care facilities is causing a direct health hazards on the general public, the health care workers and on the environment. Measures to ensure the safe and environmentally sound management of health care wastes can prevent adverse health and environmental impacts from such waste including the unintended release of chemical or biological hazards, including drug-resistant microorganisms, into the environment thus protecting the health of population. Biomedical waste (BMW) is any waste produced during the diagnosis, treatment, or immunization of human or animal research activities pertaining thereto or in the production or testing of biological or in health camps. It is observed from the analysis that there is significant association between type of hospital and waste handling safety measures. Waste management is needed to prevent pollution. Waste management is important as it saves the environment from the toxic effects of inorganic and biodegradable element present in waste. Mismanagement of waste can cause great harm to society, water, soil and air contamination. Waste can be reduced, recycled if collected and managed efficiently. Segregation refers to the basic separation of different categories of waste generated at source and thereby reducing the risks as well as cost of handling and disposal. Segregation is the most crucial step in bio-medical waste management. The main objective of Waste management is to reduce the environmental and health hazards that arise from indiscriminate dumping of waste and pollution of natural resources like the land, sea, and air. One of the essential aspects of waste management is recycling, and when you do it, you're helping in the conservation of natural resources by reusing materials such as glass, plastic, oil, and paper. But Biomedical wastes are such wastes where recycling does not work. These wastes are of general category and are mostly Municipal wastes which can be managed by segregation, recycling and reduction.
The waste produced in the course of health-care activities carries a higher potential for infection and injury than any other type of waste. Therefore, it is essential to have safe and reliable method for its handling. Inadequate and inappropriate handling of health-care waste may have serious public health consequences and a significant impact on the environment. Appropriate management of healthcare waste is thus a crucial component of environmental health protection, and it should become an integral feature of health-care services.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Handling & management of hazardous and biomedical waste
1. A PRESENTATION ON HANDLING AND
MANAGEMENT OF HAZARDOUS AND BIOMEDICAL
WASTE
BY-JORALI
LONGMAILAI (DC2011BTE0208)
ANAMIKA DEBBARMA (DC2011BTE0127)
2. INTRODUCTION
Waste and wastes are terms for
unwanted materials. Examples
include municipal solid waste
(household
trash/refuse), wastewater (such
as sewage, which contains
bodily wastes, or surface
runoff), radioactive waste, and
others.
Waste management is
the collection, transport, process
ing or disposal, managing and
monitoring of waste materials.
The term usually relates to
materials produced by human
activity, and the process is
generally undertaken to reduce
their effect on health,
the environment or aesthetics.
3. HAZARDOUS
WASTE
Hazardous wastes can take the form of solids, liquids, sludge, or
contained gases, and they are generated primarily by chemical
production, manufacturing, and other industrial activities.
4. BIOMEDICAL WASTE
According to Biomedical Waste (Management and Handling) Rules,
1998 of India “Any waste which is generated during the diagnosis,
treatment or immunization of human beings or animals or in research
activities pertaining thereto or in the production or testing of
biological”.
5. LITERATURE REVIEW
1. Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices about Biomedical Waste Management
among Healthcare Personnel- A Cross-sectional Study (April-June 2011).
By Vanesh Mathur, S. Dwivedi, M. A. Hassan, R. P Mishra.
The objective was to assess knowledge, attitude and practices of doctors,
nurses, laboratory technicians, and sanitary staff regarding biomedical
waste management.
2. Biomedical Waste Management- A case study of Y.C.M Hospital, Pimpri,
Chinchwad, Pune (June 24-25 2011).
By Amar Dhere.
This paper makes an attempt by giving a detailed background on the
standard process of biomedical management and the provision of relevant
law.
7. HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
Improper hazardous-waste storage or disposal frequently contaminates surface and
groundwater supplies. In an effort to remove existing problems and to prevent future
harm from hazardous waste, government closely regulates the practice of
hazardous-waste management.
Under the management process, following proceedings take
place:-
Transportation of hazardous waste-
Hazardous waste generated at a particular site often requires
transport to an approved treatment, storage, or disposal
facility. Because of potential threats to public safety and the
environment, transportation is given special attention by
governmental agencies
Transport vehicles used-
Hazardous waste is generally transported by truck over public
highways. Only a very small amount is transported by rail, and
almost none is moved by air or inland waterway.
8. The Manifest System-
The manifest system monitors the journey of hazardous waste from
its point of origin to the point of final disposal. The manifest system
helps to eliminate the problem of midnight dumping. It also provides
a means for determining the type and quantity of hazardous waste
being generated, as well as the recommended emergency procedures
in case of an accidental spill. A manifest is a record-keeping
document that must be prepared by the generator of the hazardous
waste, such as a chemical manufacturer. The generator has primary
responsibility for the ultimate disposal of the waste and must give
the manifest, along with the waste itself, to a licensed waste
transporter.
9. HANDLING PROCESS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE
Under the handling process of hazardous waste, following processes include—
Treatment :- Hazardous waste can be treated by chemical, thermal,
biological, and physical methods.
1. Chemical methods include ion exchange, precipitation, oxidation and
reduction and neutralization.
2. Thermal method is high-temperature incineration which not only can
detoxify certain organic wastes but also can destroy them.
3. Biological treatment of certain organic wastes, such as those from the
petroleum industry, is also an option.
4. Physical methods include evaporation, sedimentation, floatation, and
filtration.
10. Surface Storage and Land
Disposal:-
Hazardous wastes that are
not destroyed by
incineration or other
chemical processes need
to be disposed properly.
For most such wastes,
land disposal is the
ultimate destination.
Two basic methods of
land disposal include
land filling and
underground injection.
11. REMEDIAL ACTION OF HAZARDOUS WASTE
Remediation means to completely remove all the waste material
from the site and transport it to another location for treatment and
proper disposal.
This off-site solution is usually the most expensive option.
An alternative is on-site remediation, which reduces the production
of leachate and lessens the chance of groundwater contamination.
On-site remediation may include temporary removal of the
hazardous waste, construction of a secure landfill on the same site,
and proper replacement of the waste.
12. BIOMEDICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT
Biomedical waste management has recently emerged as an issue of
major concern not only to hospitals, nursing home authorities but also
to the environment.
The bio-medical wastes
generated from health
care units depend upon
a number of factors such
as waste management
methods, type of health
care units, occupancy of
healthcare units,
specialization of
healthcare units, ratio of
reusable items in use,
availability of
infrastructure and
resources etc.
13. SOURCES OF BIOMEDICAL WASTE
Major Sources:
Hospitals, health
centers, Medical
colleges and
research centers,
paramedic services.
Minor Sources:
Physicians, dentists’
clinics, Animal
houses, Blood
donation camps,
Vaccination centers.
14. PROBLEMS RELATING TO BIOMEDICAL WASTE
Disposing of waste in a haphazard, improper and indiscriminate
manner.
Lack of segregation practices.
Inappropriate segregation.
Inadequate management.
15. NEED OF BIOMEDICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT IN
HOSPITALS
1. INJURIES
2. INFECTIONS
3. DRUGS
BIOMEDICAL WASTE CAUSING ENVIRONMENTAL
HAZARDS
1. TOXIC EMISSIONS
2. INDISCRIMINATE DISPOSAL
3. LEACHATE
16. BIOMEDICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCESS
• Waste collection
• Segregation
• Transportation and storage
• Treatment & Disposal
• Transport to final disposal site
• Final disposal
BIOMEDICAL WASTE TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL
1. Incineration Technology
2. Non-Incineration Technology
3. Autoclaving
4. Chemical Methods
5. Microwave Irradiation
6. Plasma Pyrolysis
17. RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING
MANAGEMENT OF BIOMEDICAL WASTE
For the use of incinerator; training should be given to some number of
persons from staff.
Every hospital should have special boxes to use as dustbin for bio-medical
waste.
Bio-medical waste should not be mixed with other waste of Municipal
Corporation.
Private hospitals should also be allowed to use incinerator, which is
installed, in govt. hospital. For this purpose a specific fee can be
charged from private hospitals.
18. RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING
MANAGEMENT OF BIOMEDICAL WASTE
Special vehicle i.e. bio-medical waste vehicle should be started to collect
waste from private hospitals and private medical clinics and carry it up to
the main incinerator.
As provided by bio-medical waste rules, the whole of the waste should be
fragmented into colors due to their hazardous nature.
Either judicial powers should be given to the management board or
special court should be established in the matters of environment pollution
for imposing fines and awarding damages etc.
Housekeeping staff should wear protective devices such as gloves, face
masks, gowned, while handling the waste.
19. CONCLUSION
The segregation of waste at source is a vital step.
Reduction, reuse and recycling should be considered in proper
perspectives.
Innovative and radical measures should be taken up to negate
the lack of civic concern on the part of hospitals and various
waste generating sites.
Measures to remove slackness in government implementation
of rules, as waste generation imposes direct and indirect costs
on society.
The challenge before us is to scientifically manage growing
quantities of hazardous and biomedical wastes that go beyond
past practices.
