The document defines biomedical waste as any waste generated during diagnosis, treatment, or research involving humans or animals. It outlines the principles of biomedical waste management, which include waste minimization, segregation, collection, treatment, and disposal while ensuring occupational safety and monitoring. The rules in India regarding disposal are described, including the different waste categories and color-coded containers. Proper collection, segregation into infectious and non-infectious waste, and treatment techniques like incineration are discussed as important for safe disposal.

- 6. Definition According toBio-medical Waste management and Handling rules 1998 of India- “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.”
- 7. Principles of biomedicalwaste management Waste minimization & recycling. To identify the points of waste generation. Waste segregation at source. Compiling the inventory of waste. Waste collection & transportation. Waste treatment. Final disposal. Occupational safety. Continuous monitoring of the system.
- 16. Advantages & disadvantages of disposalmethods used:
- 18.
- 24. Disposal of hospitalwaste & law Safe disposal of biomedical waste is now a legal requirement in our country. For this, the govt. of India first enacted an environment protection Act in 1986 that satisfied the Biomedical Waste Management and Handling Rule 1998.
- 25. Contd. According to which,it shall be duty of every occupier of an institute generating hospital/ biomedical waste, which includes- hospital, nursing home, clinic, dispensary, veterinary institute, animal house, pathological lab, & blood bank to take all steps to ensure that waste is handled without any adverse effect to human health and environment.
- 26. So, different provisionsand schedules has been put forward about safe disposal of bio-wastes by BMW (management & Handling) Act 1998. It has two schedules: Schedule I- categories of biomedical waste in India Schedule II- color coding & type of container for waste disposal.
- 29. Collection and segregation Hospital waste should be collected at the site of generation only. Segregation aims to keep the harmful and infected material separate from harmless wastes. For this, use of specially coloured bins and plastic bag is mandatory.
- 31. Facts should bekept in mind during collection & Segregation : Bins & bags should bear the symbol of biomedical hazards.
- 32. Contd.. Never mixinfectious waste with non- infectious waste. Needles should be destroyed with a needle cutter and all sharps must be disinfected before they are finally disposed off. All sharps should be kept in puncture proof box and labeled properly.
- 33. Disposable items(syringes, catheters, etc.) should be mutilated and chemically disinfected. Waste should not spill outside. Non- infectious waste can be dealt with as normal household waste.
- 40.
- 41. Techniques: 1. Chemical disinfection 2.Thermal measures (Wet and dry) • Autoclave • Hydroclave 3. Microwave Irradiation 4. Incineration
- 44. Wastes to beincinerated: Human body parts, blood Animal wastes Laboratory wastes Dressing materials.
- 45. Wastes not tobe incinerated:
- 47.
- 49.
- 50. Conclusion Biomedical wastesare one of the major causes of infection in the hospital settings. So, it’s the responsibility of the hospital authority along with the health team to collect, segregate, transport and store and dispose it off to safeguard the people from hospital acquired infections. Individual participation is needed. Municipality and government should pay importance to disposal of waste economically. Thus, educating and motivating oneself first is important and then preach others about it.
