Abstract:
This report investigates to analyse the production of waste in dental offices of Qaem Shahr city. In this study, from 120 dental offices in Qaem Shahr city, 21 offices were selected through random sampling. Sampling taken from 3 offices in 3 consecutive working days (on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays). The components were classified into three groups based on their specificity and potential. Total annual waste produced in Dentist Offices in Qaem Shahr city is 557.80 kg. In dental office, the amount of biohazard, chemical and pharmaceutical and domestic type wastes were 64.10, 2.70 and 33.20 respectively. Production percentages of biohazard, the highest weighted mean for potentially biohazard (155.25±0.63 g) and the lowest for chemical and pharmaceutical (6.35±1.85 g).

Classifying Matter by Composition
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...

Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
