- a) Define 'Disinfection' and 'Sterilization' OR differentiate between them. b) Enlist the different methods of 'Disinfection' which method would you recommend for 'Municipal Water Supply' and WHY? Depending on the availability of 'Source of Water which 'Source' is more important than the other for disinfection and WHY? Give reason. c) of them is stronger than the other and by what percentage? Define or differentiate between “Free Available Chlorine" and “Combined Available Chlorine". Write their Chemical Formulae and mention which one d) Define “Break Point Chlorination". With the help of a neat Figure' show the "Break Point" and also show "Combined Available Chlorine", "Free Available Chlorine" and "Total Available Chlorine". Mention the “Dosage" in order to obtain a “Free Available Chlorine Residual" of about 0.5 mg/l or above. e) Define the term “Chlorine Demand" of water. What are the "Factors" OR enlist the "Factors" that show the "Effectiveness of Chlorine".arrow_forwardDescribe the proper disposal of microbiological (especially pathogenic) wastes from hospitals or any clinical or medical research laboratoriesarrow_forwardA water sample was taken from the Waikato River and returned to the laboratory to analyse water quality parameters.

- The steps involved in cleaning reusable medical devices includes a preliminary cleaning and then sterilization or high level disinfection. Question 16 options: True Falsearrow_forwardThe EPA, FDA, and others test food and drink for toxicants and contamination. 1)What Toxicant they test for? How they test for the given toxicant? 3) What do the results mean? (is there a healthy range vs. a dangerous range the testing can determine) 4) What these agencies will do or suggest doing to limit or lower contamination levels.arrow_forwardWith regard to item packaging, which is true: Group of answer choices Package each item separately; avoid commingling items to prevent cross-contamination Biohazard labels only need to be used when a biological fluid is seeping through the bag Plastic bags are preferred for storage because of the possibility of bacterial growth or mold Drying wet evidence is not possible. If the item is wet place in a plastic container to avoid a biohazard problem Seal each package with evidence tape. If possible, use staples to secure items. Mark the seal with initials and date.arrow_forward
