Hospital Waste Disposal
Hospital wastes pose a significant impact on health and environment. From this study it can be said that there is an urgent need for raising awareness and education on medical waste issues. Proper waste management strategy is needed to ensure health and environmental safety. For further study, it is needed to collect more information on impacts, disposal and management to draw clear conclusion. Biomedical waste management is one of the biggest challenges of the present day times because it has a direct impact on the health of human beings. Since it is hazardous in nature its safe and proper disposal is extremely important. For proper disposal management of biomedical waste the Ministry of Environment and Forests has published the Bio-Medical Waste Rules, 1998. This review explains the hospital waste management and the environmental problem in India. This study also focused on the problems associated with Biomedical waste. In the past, medical waste was often mixed with municipal solid waste and disposed in nearby landfills. In recent years, many efforts have been made by environmental regulatory agencies to better manage the biomedical waste. Need to collect information and examples from developed country or the country, which has sound medical waste management system. Find alternatives and appropriate technologies for developing countries. Need extensive study on this medical waste and its management aspects as well. All over the world, there is an exodus of people from villages to cities, partly for education and employment and partly because agriculture has become less and less profitable. It is estimated that 65% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2030. The infrastructure required for this lop-sided growth of the cities is resulting in mountains of garbage collecting in the unplanned extensions in larger cities, because of poor conservancy services and lack of civic amenities. It is estimated that the domestic garbage produced per day in Mumbai is of size of an eight stored building complex. ...
