Environmental threats posed | Solutions

Introduction 

The pharmaceutical and scientific equipment manufacturing industry is a major contributor to environmental pollution. During the manufacturing process, these industries release a variety of pollutants into the air, water, and soil. These pollutants can have a harmful impact on human health and the environment.


Types of pollutants released by the pharmaceutical and scientific equipment manufacturing industry:

Air pollutants: These pollutants include volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter, and heavy metals. VOCs can contribute to smog and acid rain, while particulate matter can cause respiratory problems. Heavy metals can accumulate in the environment and can have a variety of harmful effects on human health, including cancer and neurological damage.

Emissions from factories 

Water pollutants: These pollutants include pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, and heavy metals. Pharmaceuticals can disrupt the endocrine system of fish and other wildlife, while industrial chemicals can contaminate drinking water and cause a variety of health problems. Heavy metals can bioaccumulate in the food chain and can cause a variety of health problems, including cancer and neurological damage. 

Water pollutants directly released in water 

Soil pollutants:These pollutants include pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, and heavy metals. Pharmaceuticals can disrupt the endocrine system of plants and animals, while industrial chemicals can contaminate soil and make it unsuitable for growing food. Heavy metals can bioaccumulate in the soil and can cause a variety of health problems, including cancer and neurological damage.

Soil erosion caused due to pollutants 

Pollution statistics from pharmaceutical equipment manufacturing companies:

  1. A study by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that pharmaceutical manufacturing companies release an estimated 2.4 billion pounds of pollutants into the environment each year.
  2. The study also found that pharmaceutical manufacturing companies are a major source of air pollution, accounting for 10% of all VOC emissions in the United States.
  3. Another study, by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), found that pharmaceutical manufacturing companies are a major source of water pollution, accounting for 10% of all industrial wastewater discharges in the United States.


Malpractices Used 

Some pharmaceutical equipment manufacturing companies have been known to illegally dump pollutants into the environment.

Other companies have been known to falsify emissions data in order to make it appear that they are not polluting.

Still other companies have been known to bribe government officials in order to avoid being punished for their environmental violations.

Fume Hood and it's basics

What is a fume hood? A fume hood is a ventilated enclosure that is used to contain hazardous fumes, vapors, and gases. It is an essential piece of safety equipment in laboratories where hazardous chemicals are used. Fume hoods work by drawing air from the work area into the hood, where it is filtered and then exhausted to the outside. This helps to prevent the spread of hazardous materials into the laboratory environment. Fume Hood  Hood Dial  Uses of fume hoods Fume hoods are used in a variety of laboratories, including chemistry, biology, and physics labs. They are also used in industrial settings where hazardous chemicals are used. Some of the common uses of fume hoods include: Working with hazardous chemicals Conducting experiments that produce fumes or vapors Handling radioactive materials Decontaminating equipment Storing hazardous materials Cleaning up spills Preparing samples for analysis Performing quality control tests Construction of fume hoods Fume hoods are typica...

Bacteriological incubator : Basics, types and uses

What is a bacteriological incubator? A bacteriological incubator is a laboratory apparatus used to grow and maintain bacteria at a constant temperature. It is a closed chamber that is heated to a specific temperature, typically between 35 and 37 degrees Celsius. The incubator provides a controlled environment for bacteria to grow and multiply, which is essential for many laboratory procedures, such as bacterial identification, antibiotic sensitivity testing, and vaccine production. Bacteriological incubator  Specifications The temperature range of a bacteriological incubator is typically 5°C above ambient to 60°C. The temperature accuracy is ± 0.2°C and the temperature uniformity is ± 1°C. The incubator is equipped with high quality sensors for temperature, an OPLC/PID Control system, inbuilt Data storage memory, audio visual alarm for Temperature Deviations, height adjustable SS Perforated Trays, castor wheels for ease mobility, and an observation glass door to view the samples wi...
