The environmental concern of Medical Waste (MW) generation has escalated to an alarming level due to the versatility and high demand in various applications due to COVID 19. Reusing MW to make construction material looks to be an environmentally acceptable solution to finding an effective way to use them. This is also because traditional building materials take a lot of energy to manufacture, which has numerous negative environmental consequences. This paper summarises prior investigations on repurposing various MW as a construction raw material and aggregate, as well as their quality, with a focus on bricks and paving blocks. This research begins by demonstrating the characteristics of plastics and the environmental effects of MW. After that, there will be a talk of MW reuse and how it influences total construction material quality. According to this study, only a few investigations on the use of MW in the production of paving blocks have been conducted. Furthermore, the majority of studies used compressive strength and water absorption as the principal criteria for evaluating brick and paving block quality. The compressive strength is found to be 12-13 N/mm2 and water absorption is found to be less than 1% for the prepared sample.
Covid-19 forced all the schools, colleges and universities to suspend their physical classrooms and implemented the digital transformations into the entire education system worldwide. The structure of teaching-learning-assessment methodology becomes affected by this closure. Just a handful of universities, colleges and schools might follow teaching methods online, but private, government and low-income schools, on the other hand, have totally shut down because they do not have access to e-learning solutions. The higher education industry has been profoundly impacted by the pandemic. However, the biggest concern to everyone is how the illness impacts the pace of work. Recent graduates in India fear that the present situation will result in work offers being withdrawn from companies. To manage the crisis and develop a long-term, resilient Indian education system, a multi-stakeholder strategy is required.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
