A study was conducted to assess the present status of agricultural waste management by farmers in Trishal upazila of Mymensingh district, Bangladesh. During April to May 2015 and data were collected from the sample of 70 farmers and 5 farms. A structured interview schedule was used for collection of data. The study explored the relationship between the four selected type farming (independent variable) of farmers with their generation of agricultural waste (dependent variable). In this study the highest amount waste (straw and husk production) is closely related with the size of cropland. Straw production less than or equal 1000 kg is 36.62%, straw production less than or equal 10000 kg is 54.92%, straw production less than or equal 20000 kg is 5.63% and straw production less than or equal 30000 is 2.81% and husk production less than or equal 1000 kg is 35.71%, husk production less than or equal 10000 kg is 55.71%, husk production less than or equal 15000 kg is 8.57%. So as the dairy and poultry waste is also relate with the number of cows and birds. Average amount of dung is 8.87 kg per day and average amount of used litter was 46.36 kg per 800 bird production. For management biogas was suggested by 12.5 percent respondent. Composting and fish culture were suggested individually by 4.17 and 8.3 percent respectively. Due to manage agricultural waste efficiently it is necessary to initiating program to introduce the economic benefits of waste management and start training programs for farmers.Res. Agric., Livest.

O gerenciamento dos resíduos de serviços de saúde são desafios para a comunidade, principalmente para os órgãos geradores desses resíduos, pois compete ao gerador minimizar o transtorno e gerenciá-lo adequadamente. Devido aos agentes biológicos patogênicos e toxidade que geralmente os acompanham, oferecem riscos à saúde humana e ao meio ambiente, por isso exigem especial atenção e responsabilidade de seus geradores e do poder público. O enfermeiro é um profissional que tem importante papel neste contexto, atuando num constante processo educativo e de conscientização, para que se estabeleçam as melhores práticas de gestão nessa área, tendo capacidade técnico científica para o gerenciamento dos resíduos de saúde. Assim esta pesquisa objetivou identificar e conhecer o enfermeiro no gerenciamento de resíduos dos serviços de saúde. Os resultados mostram que o enfermeiro precisa ter olhar crítico, detectar os problemas e solucioná-los, ganhar credibilidade, alcançar a segurança e proteção do cliente e da equipe.Descritores: Gerenciamento, Resíduos de Saúde, Administração, Enfermeiro. The nurse in the management of residues of the health servicesAbstractWaste management of health services are challenge for the community, especially to organs such waste generators, as it is for the generator to minimize the inconvenience and manage it properly. Due to toxicity and pathogenic biological agents that usually accompany them, pose risks to human health and the environment therefore require special attention and responsibility of its generators and the government. The nurse is the professional that has an important role in this context, acting in a constant process of education and awareness so that they establish the best management practices in this area, with technical and scientific capacity for the management of healthcare waste. So this study is to identify and meet the nurses in the waste management of health services. The results show that nurses must have a critical eye, detecting problems and solving them, gain credibility, achieve safety and protection of the client and the team.Descriptors:Management, Waste Health, Administration, Nurse. Lo enfermero en la gestión de residuos de los servicios de saludResumenGestión de los desechos de los servicios de salud son reto para la comunidad, principalmente para los servicios de salud que geran estos residuos, puesto que incumbe a ellos la reducción  al mínimo del problema y gerenciar su manejo  adecuadamente. Debido a los agentes biológicos patogenicos y su toxicidad que generalmente los acompañan, representan riesgos a  la salud humana y al medio ambiente, por lo tanto exigen la atención especial y la responsabilidad de los servicios de salud y del poder público. El enfermero es un profesional que tiene un papel importante en este contexto, actuando em um constante proceso educativo y de concientización, para establecer las mejores  prácticas de gestión en esta área, con capacidad técnica-científica para la gestión de los residuos de salud. Así que este estudio es identificar y satisfacer las enfermeras en la gestión de los residuos de los servicios de salud. Los resultados muestran que las enfermeras deben tener un ojo crítico, la detección de problemas y resolverlos, ganar credibilidad, lograr la seguridad y la protección del cliente y el equipo.Descriptores: Gestión, Residuos de la Salud, Administración, Enfermero.

A system of agricultural best management practices (BMPs) was implemented on a 2,100 ha watershed in Duplin County, North Carolina, USA, for the purpose of improving water quality. The BMPs included: Nutrient, pest, and animal waste management; and soil conservation practices. Both surface and ground water were continually analyzed to assess the water quality impacts. Nutrient management plans have been developed for over 80% of the cropland. Pest management plans have been developed for over 60% of the cropland. Over one-half of all plans have been implemented. Poultry mortality composting and improved swine waste management have decreased the potential adverse effects of animal operations. A constructed wetland shows promise as a pre-treatment of swine waste prior to land application. Stream monitoring shows decreasing amounts of nitrate- and ammonium-nitrogen in the surface waters of the watershed. Ground water monitoring shows relatively high concentrations of nitrate in areas of intensive swine and poultry operations. Ground water monitoring of pesticides reveals low levels of alachlor, atrazine, and metolachlor even though large amounts of these chemicals are used on crops. The successful implementation of agricultural BMPs appears to be having a positive effect on water quality. Both stream and ground water monitoring will be continued for several years to assess more definitively the changes in water quality.
