Covid-19 and the impact of the disease on our Environment – By Dr. Hirenappa Udnur, Consultant Pulmonologist, Columbia Asia Hospital Hebbal
When we think about saving our environment and issues related to it the first concern that comes to our mind is plastic, air and water pollution. But from past few months, since the time we all have been living with the fear of the pandemic-Covid-19 and quarantined ourselves to our homes, the planet earth has actually recovered from the damages that we caused.

The air has less pollution when compared to the previous pollution index. There has been reduction in water, land contamination. This mass isolation of us have resulted in the betterment of climate change. However, our prime concern now has become the disposal of safety gear, masks and gloves that is being used by us to protect ourselves from the deadly virus.
In process of fighting against Corona Virus, we humans have broken a lot of routines and habits, just to be safe and healthy. But the real matter which requires our attention, is about the things used to protect us can also cause and spread the disease faster and can also affect our environment in multiple ways.

| Do’s & Don’ts
· Always dispose your used surgical masks, gloves, tissues and empty sanitizer bottles in closed bins · Use reusable mask instead of disposable mask · Use separate bins for disposal · Do not litter the used safety gears in public spaces · Do not mix safety gear with common garbage bin · Avoid using mask made out of polypropylene which does not decompose easily |
Masks, which are mainly made of non-woven fabrics like Polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyethylene or polyester. These poly-products keep out the bacteria effectively. As the masks are plastic based, these are liquid resistant, have a long after life, later to their disposal they end up in landfills or oceans.
Given the fact that surgical masks are only for one-time use, their disposal along with tissues, empty sanitizer bottles, and gloves are the massive medical waste, whose disposal has to be rightly done. This medical debris, is not only filling up the city disposal lands, but it’s now being found in water bodies and in natural wildlife habitats.

When used masks are not disposed properly, the virus gets exposed leading to the spread of the disease. And certain portion of population who directly deal with the medical waste, like garbage collectors will be exposed to the disease directly.
