DEFINITION
According to Bio-medical Waste management
1998 of India-and Handling rules-
“Biomedical waste means any waste
which is generated during the diagnosis,
treatment or immunization of human being or
animals or in research activities maintaining
there to or in the production or of
biological.”
SOURCES OF BIOMEDICAL WASTE:
Government/private hospitals
Nursing homes
Physician/dentist office or clinic
Dispensaries
Primary health care centres
Medical research and training centres
animal/slaughter houses
labs/research organizations
Vaccinating centres
Bio tech institutions/production units
AAYUSH hospitals
• SOURCES OF BIOMEDICAL WASTE-

• TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL
TECHNOLOGIES FOR HEALTH CARE
WASTE:
1.INCINERATION
2.CHEMICAL DISINFECTANT
3.WET AND DRY THERMAL TREATMENT
4.MICROWAVE IRRADIATION
5.LAND DISPOSAL
6.INERTIZATION
1.INCINERATION:
Incineration is a high
heat system process of
burning combustible
solids at very high
temperature in a
furnace.
Not to be done: Burning
of Plastic waste &
Sharp
2.CHEMICAL
DISINFECTION:
Chemicals are added to waste to
kill or & inactivate the pathogens
it contains, this treatment
usually results in disinfection
rather than sterilization. It is
most suitable for treating liquid
waste such as blood, urine, stools
or hospital sewage.
3.WET THERMAL TREATMENT:
Wet thermal treatment or steam is
similar to the autoclave
sterilization process. It is based on
exposure of shredded infectious
waste to high temperature, high
pressure steam. The process is
inappropriate for the treatment of
anatomical waste and animal
carcasses, and will not efficiently
treat chemical and pharmaceutical
waste.
AUTOCLAVE
4.MICROWAVE
IRRADIATION:
Most microorganisms
are destroyed by the
action of microwave of
a frequency of about
2450 MHz and a wave
length of 12.24 nm.
5.LAND
DISPOSAL:
Bio-medical waste
is always
disposed off by
sanitary landfills.
6.INERTIZATION:
“Inertization” involves mixing waste
with cement and other substances
before disposal, in order to minimize the
risk of surface water or ground water
pollution. A typical proportion of the
mixture is: 65% pharmaceutical waste,
15% lime, 15% cement and 5% water.
