Assessment of Healthcare Waste Management Practices in Southern DR Congo: Challenges and Recommendations | Chapter 3 | Research Advances in Environment, Geography and Earth Science Vol. 1

This study aimed to assess the practice of HCWM and potential challenges in the southern provinces of DR Congo. Ensuring the safety of the environment and maintaining human health depend on the efficient handling of biological waste. Biomedical waste improper handling is a public health issue. This article also explained the methods of biomedical waste management. This is a cross-sectional study carried out in public and private medical structures in the southern provinces. The management of biomedical waste is a significant challenge in the south of DR Congo in terms of the implementation of the types of bins, the concentration of bleach used and the method of waste disposal. Staff training and awareness of waste management waste is of great interest to the community and the associated employees. The proper identification, separation and disposal of biomedical waste is healthcare professionals' ethical and social responsibility.

Marvels of Nano Science and Nano Technology | Chapter 02 | Innovations in Science and Technology Vol. 4

 The term "nano" covers a wide range of topics. Nanoparticles are crucial in the development of new materials. The high hopes we have for today's nanoparticle-containing materials are founded on the belief that distinct material qualities, such as conductivity, weight, stability, flexibility, and heat resistance, can be set independently of one another. The historical evolution of nano science is explored in this article. We've also uncovered the unusual features of particles in the nano domain, as well as nanoscience techniques. We looked at the processes and techniques used to make nanoparticles, as well as their behaviour and qualities. Finally, we looked at how nanoparticles are used in numerous fields of science, technology, and medicine.
