Indore might have a high number of coronavirus positive
cases, but their waste disposal scheme especially technology in place for PPE
(personal protective equipment) will help the city in controlling harmful
after-effects of the virus. This was explained by Shri Govindram Seksaria
Institute of Technology and Science (SGSITS) professor Vivek Tiwari in E -
Lecture on Success Story of Indore for Technocrats.
More than 80 participants joined the e-lecture organised via
online event application. Tiwari discussed various ways in which Indore is
carefully controlling coronavirus outspread with proper disposal.
“Improper disposal of PPE can result in outspread of
coronavirus and disposing lakhs of contaminated kits is a major challenge for
the entire world,” Tiwari said. He added that disposing PPE even by
incineration can be harmful.
“If we burn the kit without treatment, then the harmful
gases can affect environment, and as a civil engineer we work with hospital
designing where Indore has insured all the disposal facilities,” Tiwari said.
He added that Indore is disposing off PPE kits with requisite chemical treatments
and incinerators every day.
