Organic Contaminants
in Thane creek Water and their
concentrations
► Abstract :-The present investigation was carried out during the period of June 2002 - May 2004 to study the different organic contaminants presents in Thane Creek water. The creek water shows high of B.O.D and C.O.D. along with high concentration Value of phenolic comp. Detergents Methanol, ethanol, Acetone and low concentration of Dichloromethane and ether. Which are toxic to aquatic life and Human life. The origin of these contaminants is mainly from the entry of effluents from surrounding industries.

He explained in detail about
►WHAT IS BIO-MEDICAL WASTE?
The Bio-Medical
(hospital) waste is the waste generated in a hospital during diagnosis of a
disease and treatment of a patient
It consists of
a) Human Anatomical Waste
b) Pathological and Hazardous material that can cause serious health
problems
c) Plastic Waste
d) Glass Waste
e) General Waste
►This kind of
waste when mixed with common municipal waste can easily contaminate food and
water through unprotected, unscientific handling and direct exposure to disease
transmitting agencies
►Enviro-Vigil
has set up a Common Bio-Medical Waste Treatment Facility for Thane Municipal
Corporation in which Segregated BMW
from more than one thousand hospitals is collected, transported, treated and
disposed off strictly in accordance to the rules
