The paper aims to draw the attention of people towards the elevated risks of airborne transmission of diseases and the associated risks to students in classrooms of colleges, post pandemic. Students are observed sitting in close proximity coughing, sneezing and breathing which elevates their exposure to bioaerosols. To cleanse the classroom environment, a very simple, economical and sustainable approach was experimented by burning organic dhoopbatti made from temple waste (unused havan samagri and flower waste). The passive sampling study revealed an appreciable decrease in the total microbial count (28CFU/room) compared to initial TMC (388 CFU/room).

Dhoopbatti, sustainable, total microbial count, temple waste.
