Sustainable Smart Sanitizer
| Challenge: | Innovation | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Greater Vancouver | | City: | Vancouver, BC | | School: | St George's School | | Abstract: | Waste management is a growing crisis with densifying population and food scrap programs. Contents of outdoor garbage bins endanger public health, having pungent pathogens attracting wildlife. A photovoltaic powered microcontroller moderated ozone treatment system was innovated to periodically and sustainably deodorize and sanitize containers. Experiments qualitatively and quantitatively verified its functionality, efficiency, reliability and feasibility for near-immediate application to outdoor garbage bins currently in circulation. |
