Considering the presence of airborne viruses, there is a need for renovation in refuse chutes, regarded as first step recycling household waste buildings. This study aimed to revise design existing chutes light challenging experiences management and public health during coronavirus pandemic. research primarily focused on risks posed by various types coronaviruses, such novel (COVID-19) acute respiratory syndrome (SARS SARS-CoV), stainless steel surfaces, with evidence their survival under certain conditions. Refuse are manufactured from resist corrosive effects waste. In examining studies, it was observed that Casanova et al. Chowdhury found time coronaviruses surfaces decreases temperature increases. Based these mechanical revisions have been made sanitation system chute, thus increasing washing water temperature. Additionally, through improvements, an automatic solution spray entry provided before intake doors opened. Furthermore, understand airflow clarify flow parameters related infection transmission residential floors buildings equipped computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis conducted using sample three-story chute system. simulation results, fan motor integrated into prevent pathogens affecting users other airflow.
