INTRODUCTION In hospitals, organic waste comes from various sources, including food waste, human feces and urine. Human feces collected at the bed of a patient presents risks of contagion, so the feces are collected in metal pans, taken to a central collection unit and disinfected by thermal treatment. Since the used and clean bed pans are handled in the same area, there is an extra risk of contagion. Also organic waste, starts decomposing and emanate foul odor if microbes are present; which again affect the patients and attendants psychologically and physiologically. Another problem that arises in hospitals is that wastewater is contaminated by medicine residues and hormone disruptors, often contained within the feces and urine of patients. Even though wastewater containing medicine residues and endocrine disruptors is disposed of and treated by conventional wastewater treatment plants, it is well known that these substances are hardly affected by such processes. While concentrations of Antibiotics, Hormones and other harsh chemicals in surface water may still be relatively low, it has already been proven that aquatic life has been much affected by such waters. Hospitals and healthcare facilities with chemical, sick room, urine, fecal, vomit, spill, bacteria, fungus, mold, mildew, food and other odors can result in complaints from patients who perceive the air to be polluted and unhealthy. Mode of action The active material is silver in Nan0-ionic form and in ≤ 400 nm size. Silver is completely stable carrier in form of suspension. Pure silver has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of all metals and has the lowest contact resistance (Nordberg and Gerhardsson 1988). Ancient civilizations were aware of the bactericidal properties of silver (Hill and Pillsbury 1939). Metallic silver was used for surgical prosthesis and splints, fungicides, and coinage. Soluble silver compounds such as silver salts, have been used in treating mental illness, epilepsy, nicotine addiction, gastroenteritis, and infectious diseases, including syphilis and gonorrhea (Marshall and Schneider 1977; Shelley et al. 1987; Gulbranson et al. 2000). Its stability has been tested in accelerated and long terms studies. Silver is known antibacterial agent. Its nano-particles can kill all kinds of bacteria in very low concentration (about 5 ppm). It is also an antiviral and can fight against various kinds of viruses. Silver acts as a photo catalyst. In the presence of air oxygen, it can produce free radicals, and these free radicals can affect the micro organisms and kill them. Silver’s mode of action is presumed to be dependent on Ag+ ions, which strongly inhibit bacterial growth through suppression of respiratory enzymes and electron transport components and through interference with DNA functions. Silver can affect the di-sulficdic bands, between protein complexes. Thus the 3-d form of protein changes and it cannot perform as an enzyme. In case this happens in bacteria cell wall, the selective permeability of cell wall changes, therefore, bacteria swallows and will destroy. If this process occurs in energy cycle enzymes, then, the production of ATP stops and the lack of energy will kill microorganisms. On viruses, the glycoprotein knobs of viral envelop, that are virus antigenic receptors, has a di-sulfic band. This band could be attacked by silver nanoparticles and can destroy the virus and prevents its attachment with host cell. With this mechanism of actions, silver nanoparticles can be used instead of all antibacterial agents and in preventive form; it can be even used as a vaccine. Biological Particularity In "Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles from Staphylococcus aureus and its antimicrobial activity against MRSA and MRSE" (Anima Nanda MSc, PhD and M. Saravanan MSc, MPhil) it was found that not only was nano-silver effective in prohibiting the growth of 5 of the six bacteria strains tested, it was also found to be most effective against MRSA and MRSE, two well known "super bugs" resistant to antibiotics. Antibiotic effectiveness was increased 20%-70% against test bacteria strains. (Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine, Volume 6, Issue 1, Pages 103-109 A. Fayaz, K. Balaji, M. Girilal, R.
