The COVID pandemic had made the world feel the need to overhaul the healthcare system. Now that the world is slowly recovering from this epidemic, then another failure seems to be raising its head. This is the failure of waste management. Researchers from Canada's Dalhousie University told in a study that the masks and PPE kits used during the Covid period have led to the accumulation of waste. This research has emphasized the need to improve the infrastructure of waste management to avoid such problem in future.
Analysis of more than 100 cases on internet media
Researchers took to the Internet media to collect information about the impact of such waste on organisms. Between April 2020 and December 2021, 114 such incidents were analyzed in 23 countries. In most cases the birds were the prey of the waste.
Some preventive steps
Bottled sanitizer was used a lot during the Corona period. Instead of using soap, the consumption of plastic can be reduced. 'Instead of use and throw, a one-time use mask should be used, which can be washed and used many times.' In the Covid period, the use of use and throw products like plastic cups, plates increased rapidly in clubs, restaurants. Reusable products can be a good option instead.
