Worldwide, 12 billion masks are used every month since the Corona epidemic


New York, March 30, 2021, Tuesday

Face masks have become an integral part of the Corona epidemic over the past year. Face masks, which are considered to be epidemic symbols, are also thrown away like plastic, making waste masks dangerous to health and the environment. It is not known how many disposable masks have been safely disposed of during the epidemic so far, but according to one study, 12 billion masks are used in 1 month and 3 million in 1 minute.


In epidemics most face masks are made of plastic microfiber. Experts have warned that if the mask is not disposed of properly, it could become a major environmental problem. Just like plastics, disposable masks can spread harmful substances, biological substances such as bisphenol A, as well as pathogenic microorganisms into the atmosphere. This research information was provided by Jiaong Jason Ren, an environmental poison scientist at the University of Denmark. Disposable masks are produced in abundance like plastic bottles but cannot be easily destroyed.

Particles of micro-plastic and nano-plastic can break down and spread in the air. Usually particles smaller than 1 micrometer are called nanoplastics. Researchers believe that nanoparticles in masks can disperse faster than plastic particles. Some types of plastic in plastic bottles can be recycled but no special research has been done on the recycling of masks. The days are not far away when waste masks, like other plastic waste, can be found as disposable on landfills or in the oceans, in a situation where they cannot be recycled sustainably. Micrometers of micro-shaped plastic fibers are used to make new masks. Thus, the nano-plastic in the mask has become a new source of pollution. Experts believe that there is a need to emphasize the production of biodegradable masks against the increasing production of masks.

In the last 24 hours, 25 patients at Sir Gangaram Hospital in Delhi have died due to low oxygen pressure.

Does the corona virus survive in the body for 3 days after death?

Image
Washington, April 19, 2020, Sunday, The epidemic of the corona virus is on the rise in the world. As the virus spreads like a fire, hundreds of people have died and many people have died in hospital in the midst of life and death. In addition to the corona virus drug and vaccine, there is research that is underway to uncover shocking details. In Italy, priests associated with the funeral of corona infected bodies were also infected. In many countries, more than 7-10 people have been banned from joining coroners in the funeral of a coronary infected person. While a guideline has also been issued for the coroner's funeral, the question is how important it is to know how long the corona virus survives in the body even after death. The corona virus lives on in any body as long as the fluid is liquid. When buried with an infected person of any corona, it takes 3-4 days for the flu to expire from the body and thus the virus can survive. Thus, if a buried person is ejected and the vir...

Not only O, scientists also made A blood group a universal donor, blood shortage will come to an end

Image
- Scientists succeed in turning A blood group into a universal donor with the help of enzymes in the gut New delhi date. Thursday, April 8, 2021 The O blood group is no longer the only universal donor in the world. Canadian scientists have also made blood group A a universal donor using a special type of bacterial enzyme. This will result in fewer deaths due to blood shortage in hospitals now and more and more patients ’blood needs can be met. The United States alone requires 16,500 liters of blood per day for emergency surgery, scheduled operations, and routine transfusions. But no blood of any group can be transfused to the patient. Successful transfusion requires that the donor's blood type match the patient's blood type. Scientists have discovered microbes in the human gut that secrete two types of enzymes. With the help of this enzyme, scientists have turned type-A i.e. A blood group into a universal donor. If this process is successful on a large scale, there will be...
