We were taught about this when we were 5th or 6th grade.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, let me try to remind you in the simplest possible way I could.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what is marine pollution? According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgeographic.org\/encyclopedia\/marine-pollution\/#:~:text=Marine%20pollution%20is%20a%20combination,5%20%2D%208\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>National Geographic<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, marine pollution occurs when harmful waste such as industrial, household, or chemical waste enters into the ocean. As per <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oceanservice.noaa.gov\/facts\/pollution.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>National Ocean Service<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>land is one the main causes of marine pollution, contributing 80% to be specific<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, land and air pollution have been contributing and proving to be severely harmful to marine life and it\u2019s habitat.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyway, you are not here to find out&nbsp; \u201cwhat is marine pollution\u201d. So, let\u2019s move on and talk about how COVID-19 waste is contributing to surging marine pollution and also how we can decrease it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Role_of_COVID-19_Waste\"><\/span><b>The Role of COVID-19 Waste<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ever since the world found out there exists a virus called COVID-19 by late 2019, the virus has been spreading like wildfire. Causing disruption in almost everyone\u2019s livelihood. Billions have been infected with the deadly virus so far.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, what most people don\u2019t notice is that with increasing precautionary measures that people are taking, there has been surge in COVID-19 waste as well. From mask to hand gloves, medicine packaging cover to syringes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And where does this COVID-19 waste end up?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unsurprisingly, a huge chunk ends up in the ocean,&nbsp; which is among thousands of causes of marine pollution.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to an article from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oceanconservancy.org\/trash-free-seas\/plastics-in-the-ocean\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Ocean Conservancy<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>8 million metric tons of plastics waste are dumped into the ocean every year<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. That is on top of estimated <\/span><b>150 million metric tons that are already circulating in the marine environments<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is equivalent to one garbage truck\u2019s worth of garbage thrown into the ocean every single minute. Moreover, it is estimated; <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www3.weforum.org\/docs\/WEF_The_New_Plastics_Economy.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>by 2050, there will be more plastics when calculated in weight than fish in the oceans<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, let\u2019s look at some figures specifically on COVID-19 waste inside the ocean.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a post from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/india.mongabay.com\/2020\/10\/discarded-single-use-plastic-masks-and-gloves-are-choking-ocean-beds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Mongabay<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Subhash Chandran, a scuba diver, along with four others removed <\/span><b>1500 kilograms of COVID-19 waste<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> till September 27, 2020. That is since when they saw <\/span><b>COVID-19 protection masks and other biomedical waste floating around<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Rushikonda beach in Visakhapatnam on September 16, 2020. Since then, they removed <\/span><b>17,000 kilograms of waste over the period of 57 days<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in last November.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meet all you waste management needs with the help of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mywastesolution.com\/search-consultants\/waste-consultants\">waste management consultants<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mr Chandran said \u201cIt is an ocean of plastic and biomedical waste, flowing through open drainage systems from hospitals and litter on the beach.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Marine_Pollution_Effects\"><\/span><b>Marine Pollution Effects<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Environmental Engineer\u2019s Statement<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOn July 6, panic-stricken fishermen from the Thiruchinakuppam road in Tiruvottiyur, Chennai found masks, syringes, blood bags and testing equipment dumped along the seacoast. Biomedical waste has also been traced in the Anakaputhur and Manivakkam lakes (in Chennai). The waterbodies in Vandalur, Otteri Nalla, Porur, Maduravoyal, Muttukadu and Puzhal had always been dumping grounds for medical supplies. Before Covid-19, a government hospital bed would generate around half a kg of biomedical waste per day which has now gone up to 3-5 kg (per day). Though the city leads the biomedical waste generation in the state, the handling capacity is only 25 percent.\u201d said Prabhakaran, an environmental engineer at Poovulagin Nanbargal, when talking about how biomedical waste is polluting the lake and water bodies, last year.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubs.acs.org\/doi\/pdf\/10.1021\/acs.est.0c02178\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>ACS Publications<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the global COVID-19 pandemic is estimated to trigger a use of <strong>129 billion face masks and 65 billion gloves every month<\/strong>. That is projected, when stitched all together of all the masks produced so far will cover an area big as Switzerland.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being said that, I do not mean to say we should stop producing masks or gloves. I know it is not an option but a mandatory to use in order to avoid COVID-19 virus. However, we should not be producing more than necessary. Moreover, we should also know <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mywastesolution.com\/blog\/manage-covid-19-waste\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>how to dispose of it properly<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Not just treat ocean like a dumping place.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are billions of living organisms surviving in the water which are troubled because of these wastes. For instance, gloves and masks in the ocean can easily be mistaken for a jellyfish. That\u2019s a favorite food for sea turtles. Moreover, it can become food for many other fishes, animals, and birds. You can imagine how it will end up for them eating those masks and gloves!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And here we are talking only about marine pollution effects caused by PPE. If we talk about effects caused by single-use plastic generated because of COVID-19, then the story gets even more complicated!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Reduce_COVID-19_Wastes_in_the_Ocean\"><\/span><b>How to Reduce COVID-19 Wastes in the Ocean?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First of all we need to start replacing all disposables with reusables. Think of the number of hospitals using disposables at the moment. Yes it can be easy to avoid COVID-19 virus. Use it and throw in the bin.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, as mentioned in my blog \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mywastesolution.com\/blog\/manage-covid-19-waste\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>How to Manage COVID-19 Waste?<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d things that can be reused after proper cleaning and sanitizing with chlorine solution is better to use than using disposables. Looking at the current waste management scenario.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second, we need to avoid using synthetic fabrics. Did you know that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegoodtrade.com\/features\/synthetic-fabric-plastic-pollution\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>synthetic clothing and materials are actually procured from plastics<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? As of now several manufacturers use these fabrics to produce masks. We should switch that to cotton or other materials that are not harmful to the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well we are not washing anymore but throwing straight to the ocean!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last but not least, if one knows how to produce waste then one should also know to manage the waste. Waste handlers should make sure they follow every single waste management guidelines and regulations in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mywastesolution.com\/blog\/disposing-biomedical-waste\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>disposing biomedical waste<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Moreover, we should start doing research and implement <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mywastesolution.com\/blog\/5-innovative-methodologies-for-hazardous-waste-treatment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>innovative methodologies for waste treatment<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&nbsp;<\/span>Connect with the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mywastesolution.com\/search-consultants\/waste-consultant-category\/medical-waste\">biomedical waste consultants<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We cannot change the way it is overnight. However, if we start adopting the right measures today we might see a better tomorrow. Let\u2019s not make marine life suffer because of our waste, they do want to enjoy just as we do without COVID-19!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out how COVID-19
