Kanpur: Prominent government hospitals in the city are turning a blind eye to the hazards of bio-medical waste by either casually dumping the untreated medical waste despite expensive incinerators installed at the hospitals or outsourcing the work to private agencies who have little expertise of handling such waste.
The two biggest district hospitals
When you acquire a Stillness Light, it will be incomplete. The light fixture comprises a dangling cord and a small silver cap that has LEDs embedded in it. You can, of course, hang it up as it is, but the designer intended this product to be combined with something else
Stream flow augmentation with recycled water has the potential to improve stream habitat and increase potable water supply, but the practice is not yet well understood or documented. Despite the fact that wastewater discharge to streams is commonplace, a water agency pursuing stream flow augmentation with recycled water will face unique challenges.
For example, recycled water typically contains trace amounts of organic wastewater-derived compounds (OWCs) for which the potential ecological risks must be balanced against the benefits of an augmentation project
Successful stream flow augmentation with recycled water requires that the lead agency clearly articulate a strong project rationale and identify key benefits. It must be assumed that the public will have some concerns about water quality. Public acceptance may be better if an augmentation project has co-benefits beyond maintaining stream ecosystems, such as improving water system supply and reliability (i.e. potable use offset).

LONDON: Scientists claim to have developed a new software that can accurately measure greenhouse gas emissions down to individual buildings and streets.The system developed by US researchers could help identify the most effective places to cut emissions as it combines information from public databases with traffic simulations and energy consumption models, the BBC News reported.
Scientists from the Arizona state university developed the new measuring system, called Hestia using data from a number of sources including air pollution reports, traffic counts and tax offices.
It was then combined with a modelling system for quantifying Co2 emissions down to individual building level.
Kevin Gurney, one of the leaders of the project told the BBC that said his team knows the system is working because it is consistent with exisiting information on emissions.
