Clean Environment

 Welcome back to my blog my self parmod sharma and in this blog we will discuss about a very important topic clean environment.

What is clean environment?

A clean environment is one that is void of any form of pollution and its effect. Hence it could be an environment that has clean air, clean water, and clean energy. Basically, it is a healthy and safe environment. Very commonly a clean environment is also considered as one that is tid

Environmental cleaning is a fundamental principle of infection prevention in healthcare settings. Contaminated hospital surfaces play an important role in the transmission of dangerous pathogens, including Clostridium difficile, and antibiotic-resistant organisms such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). Therefore, appropriate disinfection of those surfaces and equipment which patients and healthcare personnel touch is necessary to reduce exposure. However, the comparative effectiveness of disinfectants, application methods and contamination assessment techniques is unknown, and no consensus exists around benchmarks for cleanliness. This technical brief is intended to map the evidence addressing environmental cleaning, with particular attention given to patient-centered outcomes. 

Managing and Monitoring Environmental Services Personnel

Monitoring the operational processes associated with environmental cleaning services, and properly training and managing the staff charged with these duties, are additional elements necessary for preventing transmission of HAIs. Strategies for assessing compliance may include use of checklists, direct observation (open or covert), and surveys of personnel and patients. Process evaluation and improvement should also consider important human factors and logistical concerns that interact with environmental cleaning procedures, including workflow, staffing, staff training and supervision, collaboration between support services and clinical staff, institutional leadership, and patient preferences. This technical brief will explore these factors and their impact on reducing HAIs 

Assessing Contamination Following Environmental Cleaning

Clinical and environmental services staff are faced with distinct challenges as pathogens are capable of surviving for prolonged periods of time on environmental surfaces and may be transmitted to new room occupants following discharge of colonized or infected patients, even when terminal cleaning has been performed. Effective strategies must therefore be put in place to assess the effectiveness of environmental cleaning and disinfection in healthcare settings to reduce HAIs.

Visual inspection is the most simple method for evaluating cleanliness, but concerns about the adequacy of visual inspection alone9-11 have fostered the development of technology-based approaches. Several strategies have emerged that may improve the quality of assessment but introduce additional expense and other potential disadvantages. One such alternative is to use aerobic colony counts (ACCs), which are a culture-based method for assessing environmental contamination. 

What benefits does a clean environment have?

Cleaning the environment is the key to existence and survival of life on planet earth. Maintaining a clean environment reduces pollution, preserves our biosphere, protects endangered species, and also helps preserve the earth's natural resources. In society, the state of cleanliness of a society represents the mindset.

Healthy Environment Benefits

Avoid from diseases caused by unhealthy environment.

The environment becomes cooler.

Free from air pollution.

Water becomes cleaner and safer to drink.

More calm in running daily activities.

Clean technology refers to avoiding environmental damage at the source through use of materials, processes, or practices to eliminate or reduce the creation of pollutants or wastes.
