What are fomites?   Inanimate objects that form a secondary route of exposure for person-to-person transmissions. Any object that we may come in contact with can serve as fomites, doorknobs, elevator buttons, hand rails, phones, cab doors, keyboards, toys, even clothing. Respiratory droplets are propelled into the air by sneezing and coughing. The aerosol generated by coughing and sneezing contain droplets of moisture of varying sizes laden with pathogens. The largest droplets are more likely to fall to the floor. Medium sized ones are more likely to enter the nasal passages of someone nearby, causing infection. The moisture in the smallest particles tends to evaporate rapidly, resulting in the formation of so-called droplet nuclei, which are light and can remain airborne for longer periods. These can travel from room to room or through ventilation ducts; owing to their small size and weight, their movement is mostly dictated by air currents, and, if inhaled, they can flow w...

Anything that has mass and occupies space is subjected to microbial metabolism. It’s natural but creates havoc when this activity leads to undesirable contamination of the same. Many industrial and commercial applications are prone to being a habitat of micro-organisms owing to their varied operating conditions, which becomes a matter of concern when it bears severe financial losses to the industries. Introduction of bacteria, algae, fungi in a regular or closed system, disturbing their natural operations is how a microbial contamination occurs. Mass dependency on artificial resources is the primary reason for it but also its usage cannot be avoided. So, a striking a balance between combating contaminants and minimizing harmful byproducts is important for application sustainability. Scientists studied the deactivating effects that combination of Silver and Hydrogen Peroxide manifests and the major revelation of such combined disinfectant was about the toxicity of its components,...

Mandatory treatment of wastewater is the need of the hour to get rid of harmful pollutants excreted by domestic, commercial, agricultural or industrial applications. Wastewater Treatment rendering otherwise unsuitable water for domestic, industrial or commercial utilizations. The sources which can be anything from mildly polluted storm water run-off to toxic wastewater from chemical, pharmaceutical, and industries. Pathogens, organic and inorganic matter, suspended particulate matter, dissolved gases, paint emulsions, toxic chemicals like pesticides, bio-solids, and many more unwanted substances interfere with the quality and need treatment to make it reusable. Domestic wastewater contains large suspended wastes like rags, single-use plastics, smaller colloids like papers, peels and other minute pollutants resulting from human wastes, laundry wash offs, kitchen applications. Commercial wastewater constitutes pollutants from commercial properties like offices, hospitals,...

Scale and Corrosion is considered a curse to all industries, be it large or small. Due to their subjection to water systems, heavy metal installations, industries face a huge annual loss due to these complications as they have direct implications on the production rate and outcome. Formation of scales cause severe metal lining problems, decrease in fluid flow rate, pitting and perforation, pore throats, wear and tear, machinery failure and primarily first stage of corrosion (in most cases). Antiscalant dosing is preferred over other conventional treatments in counteracting scaling and corrosion. The primary reason being its simplicity and effectiveness over particulate matter deposition and cost efficiency. Most antiscalant chemicals work on adsorption mechanism, where they get adhered to the surface, preventing any interaction between inorganic salts and surface lining, ensuring lesser accumulation, lesser precipitation in the feeding solution, and ensuring prolon...

Rainwater is the key to most of the farming practices followed worldwide, especially in Asian and African subcontinent for regular water need and supply, reason being its purity and naturality. Lakes, Reservoirs, Ponds, Irrigational Canals mostly rely on rainfall and regarded as the only sources of water supply for maximum farmers around the world. In fact, it is believed that a good rainfall ensures maximum crop harvesting and production, increasing monetary benefits and optimal food security. About three-fourth of the crops that grow across the world are rain dependent Surface water, considered as reservoir of rain water gets contaminated due to the presence of vulnerable environmental variants like weeds, micro-organisms, bacteria, etc. which mostly harm the health of the crop rather than saving it. Higher rate of evaporation leads to drying up of ponds, wells, lakes and other stagnant water bodies which coherently hamper the water requirement post rainfall but the hard...

Interest on chemical behavior of Nano silver has substantially grown over the years, mainly for its pursuit as an effective antimicrobial agent. Research states that silver has a relatively wider range of antibacterial and anti-fungal attributes than other metals. And, hydrogen peroxide is a deemed eco-friendly sanitizer, owing to its oxidizing attribute, aiding in the elimination of harmful microorganisms wherever used. It ruptures the total cell structure on contact, without leaving behind any traces for replication. Hydrogen Peroxide and silver manifest excellent antimicrobial properties, their chemical synergy adds a lot of value as a prompt yet effective disinfecting agent with limited toxicity . Nano Silver Hydrogen Peroxide , from its name can be understood as a combination of oxidizing hydrogen peroxide stabilized with Nano silver. Upon application, it helps out in eliminating harmful microorganisms across multiple media without any residual toxicity. Hydrogen Pero...

About four-fifth of the total water supply, after going through various domestic and industrial applications revert to environment as contaminated water, making it unfit for re-use. But if treated and managed properly, a sizeable rate of this increasing demand can be dealt with, requiring most treatment plants to function optimally with proper physical and chemical mechanisms. Legally and ethically, wastewater must be treated before its exposure in the environment. The composition of wastewater varies as its’ sources, ranging from mildly polluted storm water runoff to toxic wastewater from chemical, pharmaceutical, and metal industries. Wastewater Management correlates with the purification of polluted water, making it re-usable for comprehensive applications. Pathogens, organic and inorganic matter, suspended solid, dissolved gases, toxic chemicals like pesticides, bio-solids, and many more unwanted substances interfere with water quality, changing its chemistry making treat...

The way global warming has started to take a toll on climate change, it has become very difficult for farmers to rely solely on rainfall and sunlight for crop blooming. The adversity has already risen in some areas of Asian and African sub-continent and environmental enthusiasts predict that it would only grow in coming times. The gruesome fact one should be worried about right now is the agriculture sector which is on a course of hitch; the reason being fast consumption of most of the available freshwater faulty irrigation practices. Latest report says that by the end of this decade, availability of agro products is going to decrease drastically, if not counter measured. Yet, these areas are accustomed to conventional methods and unaware or unsure about new techniques which will not only shoot up the productive usage of water but also enhance its usage on available crops. Water scarcity leads to drought, famine, financial loss and other undesirable frailties like irregular pric...
