The
evaluation
of
both
qualitative
and
quantitative
factors
regarding
biomedical
waste
can
help
remedy
the
shortcomings
of
the
current
hospital
waste
management
(HWM)
system.
The
present
study
used
a
questionnaire
and
a
weighing
operation
to
investigate
the
perceived
quality
of
HWM
and

Since
the
process
of
heterogeneous
Fenton
is
more
complex
and
dynamic
than
the
common
Fenton
process,
control
and
online
monitoring
is
entirely
vital
for
optimum
operation
of
this
system.
This

Members
of
the
genus
Bdellovibrio
are
small

bacteria.
Bdellovibrio
enters
the
prey
cell,
transforming
it
into
a
structure
that
is
referred
to
as
a

Pentachlorophenol
(PCP),
which
is
one
of
the
resistant
phenolic
compounds,
has
been
classified
in
the
category
of
EPA’s
priority
pollutants
due
to
its
high
toxicity
and
carcinogenic
potential.
Therefore,
its
removal
from

Compared
to
other
medical
clinics,
dental
centers
produce
a
relatively
small
amount
of

waste.
However,
they
are
responsible
for
the
production
of
certain
amounts
of
waste
that
can
cause
serious
health
and
environmental
hazards
if
