Department of Science and Technology(DOST)

Hello! I would like to ask the following questions for my thesis proposal. Rest assured; all data gathered will be used for academic purposes only.

I requested an interview regarding cemeteries and according to DENR-EMB, proposals such as aquamation would be needing an extensive review from DOST.

1.) Do you think it's time for our country to introduce a new body disposal such as aquamation (alkaline hydrolysis)?

2.) Do think this technology is safe for our environment and public health? 

3.) Would there be any design guidelines for this kind of technology?

Hello, Sir. Marlon. HIndi po ako makareply thru text message gawa po ng service provider. (you can also reply po thru my email [email protected]. See attached file po sa response ng DENR. The topic po is about body disposition po ng human. Based on my research po wala pa po tayong facility na mayroong Aquamation (Alkaline Hydrolysis or Resomation Ltd.) pero mayroon na pong ganitong facility for pets (Pets to nature). 

Any response po if mayroon or data kahit statement po regarding this study would be a big help.
