Domestic Envirocare Engineering & Resource Management

Today, we successfully concluded the capturing of the entire PDP executives structure in Ikono/Ini Federal Constituency. This achievement underscores the tireless efforts and commitment of our party members and stakeholders.

I'm grateful for the visit by the Honourable State Secretary and the Executive Chairman of Ini LGA to our ongoing construction project. I appreciate the encouragement and leadership of His Excellency, Pastor Umo Eno PhD. Let's continue to work together to build a stronger, more united party.

Environment is is all about us as Living beings

Zero Waste Ambassadors, friends of the earth, Domestic Envirocare Engineering & Resource Management Team taking action to protect our environment from adverse effects of plastics littering.

We carried out plastic/brand audit on April sanitation day...

So guys, it's a collective effort we need to safe our planet. STOP PLASTIC LITTERING, LOCATE YOUR RECYCLING CHANNEL NOW. 🤬💲

I'm excited to be participate in the validation workshop for the reviewed and updated National Healthcare Waste Management Policy organized by the Federal Ministries of Environment and Health. Wandering why this is important at this time and how it will benefit not only the federal government but also the state and local governments in Nigeria?
..

1️⃣ Environmental Protection: Proper healthcare waste management is crucial to preventing contamination of the environment. This policy aims to establish guidelines and regulations on the safe handling, disposal, and treatment of healthcare waste. By implementing these measures, we can minimize the negative impact on our surroundings, such as water pollution, air pollution, and the spread of diseases.

2️⃣ Promotion of Public Health: Adequate healthcare waste management directly contributes to protecting public health. By ensuring the proper disposal of medical waste, we can reduce the risk of infections, injuries, and the transmission of hazardous diseases. This policy will strengthen the existing healthcare systems and safeguard the health of both healthcare workers and the general population.

3️⃣ Economic Efficiency: Effective waste management policies can bring significant economic benefits. By improving waste management practices, we can reduce the costs associated with cleaning up after improper disposal. This policy focuses on strategies that promote sustainable waste management, including recycling and waste-to-energy initiatives, which can lead to cost savings in the long run.

4️⃣ Collaboration and Coordination: This nationwide healthcare waste management policy encourages collaboration between federal, state, and local governments. It establishes a framework for cooperation and coordination to ensure consistency in waste management practices across all levels. This united front will result in a more efficient healthcare waste management system and enhanced overall governance.

Let's show our support for this initiative and recognize the importance of responsible healthcare waste management. Together, we can protect the environment, promote public health, achieve economic efficiency, and foster collaboration among all levels of government. Your attendance at this workshop and spreading awareness about it will play a crucial role in making a positive impact on our nation's healthcare waste management practices.

Stay tuned for more updates on this significant issue! 💚🏥✅

Our Environment is important to us, it is our responsibility to partner with us to help conserve it's natural resources

PrintDichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) Factsheet - https://www.cdc.gov/biomonitoring/DDT_FactSheet.html #:~:text=Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane%20(DDT)%20is%20an%20insecticide,of%20mosquitoes%20that%20spread%20malaria.

Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is an insecticide used in agriculture. The United States banned the use of DDT in 1972. Some countries outside the United States still use DDT to control of mosquitoes that spread malaria. DDT and its related chemicals persist for a long time in the environment and in animal tissues.
DDT exposure in people
Exposure to DDT in people likely occurs from eating foods, including meat, fish, and dairy products. DDT exposure can occur by eating, breathing, or touching products contaminated with DDT. DDT can convert into DDE, and both persist in body and environment. In the body, DDT converts into several breakdown products called metabolites, including the metabolite dichlorodiphenyldichloroethene (DDE). The body’s fatty tissues store DDT and DDE. In pregnant women, DDT and DDE exposure can occur in the fetus. Both chemicals can be in breast milk, resulting in exposure to nursing infants.
How DDT Affects People’s Health
Human health effects from DDT at low environmental doses are unknown. Following exposure to high doses, human symptoms can include vomiting, tremors or shakiness, and seizures. Laboratory animal studies show DDT exposure can affect the liver and reproduction. DDT is a possible human carcinogen according to U.S. and International authorities.

Levels of DDT and DDE in the U.S. Population
CDC scientists measured DDT and its metabolite DDE in the serum (a clear part of blood) of 1,956 participants aged 12 years and older who took part in CDC’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) during 2003–2004. (National Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals and Updated Tables). By measuring DDT and DDE in the serum, scientists can estimate the amounts of these chemicals entering people’s bodies.
A small portion of the population had measurable DDT. Most of the population had detectable DDE. DDE stays in the body longer than DDT, and DDE is an indicator of past exposure.
Blood serum levels of DDT and DDE in the U.S. population appear to be five to ten times lower than levels found in smaller studies from the 1970s.
Finding measurable amounts of DDT and DDE in serum does not imply that the levels of these chemicals cause an adverse health effect. Biomonitoring studies of serum DDT and DDE provide physicians and public health officials with reference values. These reference values can determine whether higher levels of DDT and DDE exposure in people are present than in the general population. Biomonitoring data also help scientists plan and conduct research on exposure and health effects.
