Analysis of Shahpura Lake’s Water Quality, Madhya Pradesh, India | Chapter 5 | Geography, Earth Science and Environment: Research Highlights Vol. 1

Shahpura Lake is positioned in one of the opulent areas of Bhopal, the capital city of the state of Madhya Pradesh, India. The water of Shahpura Lake is polluted due to the substantial release of contaminated materials without acceptable treatment to expunge pernicious compounds. The present study is based on the Physico-Chemical Parameters of Shahpura Lake of Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. Water samples were collected from five sampling stations namely Manisha Market (MM), Janki Nagar (JN), Manoria Care (MC), Bansal Hospital (BH) and Lalita Nagar (LN). The physico-chemical parameters such as Chloride (Cl), Total Hardness (TH), Alkalinity(A), pH(pH), Electric Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Fluoride(F), Iron (Fe), Turbidity (Td), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Sulphate (S) were examined to know the present status of the Lake water quality. Statistical analysis like Pearson Correlation matrix and Factor loadings were implemented to the data set to know the relationship among the studied parameters. Experimental data shows that most of the attributes do not satisfy the desirable limits prescribed by BIS. Hence the Shahpura Lake water is not suitable for drinking purposes.

Feckless Practices of Bio Medical Waste Management in Developing Countries | Chapter 3 | Current Practice in Medical Science Vol. 1

The two risks associated with biomedical waste are toxicity and infectivity. Health care institutions produce 75–90% of waste that is deemed non-hazardous, while the remaining 10–25% is deemed hazardous and may pose a number of health risks. The atmosphere for medical and surgical patients is improved by expert biological waste management. Therefore, it is necessary from time to time to conduct evaluation surveys or studies about hospital waste disposal knowledge among various cadres of hospital staff in order to rectify behaviours. A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted to teach first-year medical students about the management and handling of biomedical waste. The goal was to enhance the students' skills and evaluate their knowledge growth in order to better prepare them for a future career as capable doctors or surgeons. 131 of the 150 pupils were in attendance. 63 women and 68 men made up the group. The standard deviation was 3.745, with a mean age of 21.33. The average score was 3.09 1.15. (out of 5). All participants acquired information in a clear-cut manner, according to ANOVA data that showed an insignificant p value. It was determined that medical undergraduates will be more successful in their future endeavours if they are given basic medical training early on.
