Biomedical waste or hospital waste is any kind of waste containing infectious (or potentially infectious) materials.[1] It may also include waste associated with the generation of biomedical waste that visually appears to be of medical or laboratory origin (e.g. packaging, unused bandages, infusion kits etc.), as well research laboratory waste containing biomolecules or organisms that are mainly restricted from environmental release. As detailed below, discarded sharps are considered biomedical waste whether they are contaminated or not, due to the possibility of being contaminated with blood and their propensity to cause injury when not properly contained and disposed. Biomedical waste is a type of biowaste.
Biomedical waste may be solid or liquid. Examples of infectious waste include discarded blood, sharps, unwanted microbiological cultures and stocks, identifiable body parts (including those as a result of amputation), other human or animal tissue, used bandages and dressings, discarded gloves, other medical supplies that may have been in contact with blood and body fluids, and laboratory waste that exhibits the characteristics described above. Waste sharps include potentially contaminated used (and unused discarded) needles, scalpels, lancets and other devices capable of penetrating skin.
Biomedical waste is generated from biological and medical sources and activities, such as the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of diseases. Common generators (or producers) of biomedical waste include hospitals, health clinics, nursing homes, emergency medical services, medical research laboratories, offices of physicians, dentists, veterinarians, home health care and morgues or funeral homes. In healthcare facilities (i.e. hospitals, clinics, doctor's offices, veterinary hospitals and clinical laboratories), waste with these characteristics may alternatively be called medical or clinical waste.
Biomedical waste is distinct from normal trash or general waste, and differs from other types of hazardous waste, such as chemical, radioactive, universal or industrial waste. Medical facilities generate waste hazardous chemicals and radioactive materials. While such wastes are normally not infectious, they require proper disposal. Some wastes are considered multihazardous, such as tissue samples preserved in formalin.
This document discusses biomedical waste management. It begins with an introduction about the importance of proper hospital waste management for patient and staff health. It then defines key terminology related to biomedical waste. It classifies healthcare waste into categories including biomedical waste, general waste, and other wastes. It describes the color coding and container types used for waste segregation. It provides guidelines for biomedical waste collection, packaging, labeling, and interim storage. It concludes with information on biomedical waste treatment and disposal facilities and specific COVID-19 waste handling guidelines.
Bio Medical Waste Management And Handling Rules 1998ASHISH SINGH
The document discusses India's Bio-Medical Waste (Management and Handling) Rules 1998 which were established to regulate the management of biomedical waste from healthcare facilities. It defines biomedical waste and categories it based on potential hazards. The rules require all waste generators to treat and dispose of waste properly to prevent risks to public health and the environment. Facilities must segregate waste, maintain records, and report any accidents. The rules aim to formalize waste handling practices in India and prevent improper disposal of biomedical waste.
This document summarizes a study of hospital waste management practices in Pakistan. The study examined practices at two major hospitals in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. It found that while hygiene within the hospitals was generally good, proper waste segregation, staff training, and transportation and disposal practices did not meet national or international standards. Waste was not consistently separated by type or color-coded properly. Staff also lacked sufficient training and protection handling waste. Neither hospital had their own waste treatment capabilities like incineration. Overall, the study concluded hospital waste management practices in the examined hospitals were insufficient and not aligned with applicable standards.
This document summarizes a study of hospital waste management practices in Pakistan. The study examined practices at one public and one private hospital in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. It found that while hygiene within the hospitals was generally good, proper waste segregation, staff training, and transportation and disposal practices did not meet national or international standards. Waste was not consistently separated by type or color-coded properly. Staff also lacked sufficient training and protection handling waste. Neither hospital had adequate on-site treatment, instead transporting waste untreated. The study concluded that while laws and standards exist, implementation of proper hospital waste management practices is lacking.
This document presents an investigation of biomedical waste treatment technologies. It begins with an introduction that defines biomedical waste and the importance of proper management. It then outlines the objectives of investigating new treatment methods using heat, chemicals, or IR-radiation. Next, it summarizes several research papers on current biomedical waste treatment and disposal methods. It presents the methodology used in biomedical waste management, including segregation, storage, transportation and various treatment approaches. It also provides details on a specific biomedical waste treatment plant and gives the project schedule.
The document discusses bio-medical waste management issues and challenges faced by hospitals. It outlines various environmental laws related to waste management. It explains that healthcare waste includes waste generated in hospitals, laboratories, and research facilities. The basic principles of bio-medical waste management include segregation, containment, processing, storage and disposal of waste. Key challenges include lack of awareness, non-compliance with rules, inadequate protection of healthcare workers, and improper waste disposal. Addressing these issues requires robust policies, training, monitoring, and allocating sufficient resources.
These kinds of topics give more information and awareness of medical history. Getting acquainted with these kinds of topics and information makes us more responsible.
The document summarizes a study on bio-medical waste management practices at General Hospital in Sirsa, Haryana, India. The study found that while some practices like contracting a private agency for waste collection were in place, proper waste segregation and availability of designated bins were lacking. Recommendations included appointing staff to monitor waste management, conducting regular quality assessments, training and awareness programs for staff, and ensuring safety protocols and environmentally sound disposal practices are followed.

Abstract-There are number of hospitals in all over the India which emits the Bio medical waste in large quantities in the form of contaminated
and non-contaminated waste which are hazardous to health. Proper handling, treatment and disposal of Bio medical waste play a vital role in
hospital infection controlled program. Unfortunately lack of adequate training, improper management, illiteracy about handling and awareness
and no execution of Bio medical handling rules leads to staid health and environmental apprehension. Careless handling and disposal of these
infectious wastes may lead to serious threat to life human as well as animals. This study explains the existing information about bio medical
waste management, segregation, transportation, storage, treatment and disposal. Also this study explains lacunas of existing management system
of bio medical waste, the recommendations and suggestions of bio medical waste management.

I. INTRODUCTION
Bio medical waste is any solid or liquid waste which is
generated during the diagnosis, treatment or immunization
of human beings or animals. Waste generated in the health
care facilities categorized in general waste, chemicals,
sharps, potentially infectious waste, pharmaceuticals and
radioactive material. Also these bio medical waste consists
human anatomical body parts, discarded medicines,
cytotoxic drugs, cotton, dressings and liquid waste.
Thesewaste generates from hospitals, health centers,
medical colleges, research centers, blood banks, clinics,
funeral services and vaccination centers. According to
World Health Organization 20% waste is hazardous and
remaining 80% waste is considered as domestic waste.
Management of bio medical waste is an integral
part of infection control and hygiene program in health care
setting which is still in its infancy all over the world. The
problems of the Bio medical Waste disposal in the hospitals
and health care institutions have become issues of increasing
concern. Most countries of the world are facing the grim
situation arising out of environmental pollution due to
pathological waste arising from increasing population and
the consequent rapid growth in the number of health care
centers. India generates around three million tonnes of Bio
medical waste every year and the amount is expected to
grow at eight per cent annually. The central government to
perform functions effectively as contemplated Environment
Protection Act 1986 has made various rules, notifications
and orders including the Bio medical Wastes (Management
and Handling) Rules 1998.
II. Objectives of study
Present study has following objectives:
Review the existing condition of Bio medical Waste
Management system.
To minimize the lacunas present in the segregation,
transportation, storage, treatment and disposal.
To strengthening the existing Bio medical waste
management system
III. Future Scope
1. Suitability of charges of Central Treatment Facility to suit
the large & small hospitals.
2. Optimization of routes through detail field study for
effective and economical BMW management taking into
account money involved right from generation of waste to
its final disposal.
3. To search for cost effective technology for treatment of
biomedical and hazardous waste. Also, to search for
suitable materials to be used as containers for bio-medical
waste requiring incineration/autoclaving/ microwaving.
IV. Existing Bio medical waste management system
In Pune, there are near about 6000 hospitals which emit Bio
medical waste about 1600 tons per month. This study of Bio
medical waste is conducted by visiting hospitals like
Sahyadri Hospital(Kothrud) Poona hospital, Sahyadri

Hospital(Deccan) and treatment plant of Bio medical waste
which is Passco Environmental Solutions Pvt. Ltd. All the
biomedical waste data is collected from various Dept. of
hospitals as Pathology lab, OPD, Casuality, Male genreal
ward, Female general ward, Private rooms and various
wards. Existing Bio medical waste management system
includes the collection, storage, at source segregation,
transportation, on site segregation, treatment and disposal.
This management system of Bio medical waste is explained
as:
1. Collection of Bio medical waste :-
The collection of bio medical waste involves use of different
types of container from various sources of bio medical
wastes like Operation theatre, laboratory, wards, kitchen,
corridor etc. The containers or bins should be placed in such
a way that 100% collection is achieved. Sharps must always
be kept in puncture proof containers to avoid injuries to the
workers. Once collection occurs then bio medical waste is
stored in proper place. Segregated wastes of different
categories need to be collected in identifiable containers.
2. Storage :-
A storage location for health-care waste should be
designated inside the health-care establishment or research
facility. The waste, in bags or containers, should be stored in
a separate area/room, or building of a size appropriate to the
quantities of waste produced and the frequency of
collection. All biomedical waste shall be securely packaged
in biohazard containers which shall be labeled with the
symbols .All BMWs packaged in containers marked
biohazard No person shall store biomedical waste above 0º
C for more than seven days without the written approval of
the relevant lead agency, provided that untreated
pathological waste shall be disposed of within 48 hours. All
wastes treated and collected daily by the private waste
company contracted. These bio medical waste is collected
from all the departments of hospitals by labours or
workers.At the all Hospitals, each unit has a Sluice room
where all the wastes segregated are stored before disposal.
The room is big enough to hold all the wastes from the unit
that it is serving. These wastes are collected by the
housekeeping staff on duty from the point of waste
production and taken to the sluice room for further
management.
3. At source segregation:-
Bio medical waste segregation for better waste
management in hospitals plays a predominant role. For
reducing the volume of infectious waste segregation is
important at the point of generation.
At the all Hospitals, all departments are directed to use the
color codes for separating wastes as guided by the hospital
management depending on the type of waste.There is use of
white colour code for the syringes with puncture proof box
instead of blue colour coded bags. Black colour coded bags
are used forPlastic papers, Empty I.V bottles, Empty
medicine bottles, All types of papers, Paper hand towels.
Also red bags forall used swabs, used catheters, used gloves,
I.V giving sets, body tissues, contaminated papers,
vacutaners and ampoules and yellow for non contaminated
waste as Branulas, Surgical bottles, Ampoules, Vials,
Cuvettes.
4. Transportation
Health-care waste should be transported within the hospital
or other facility by means of wheeled trolleys, containers, or
carts that are not used for any other purpose and meet the
following specifications: easy to load and unload; no sharp
edges that could damage waste bags or containers during
loading and unloading; easy to clean. All waste bag seals
should be in place and intact at the end of transportation.
Transportation of all the bio medical waste of all pune city
i.e. of 6000 hospitals is under the Pune Municipal
Corporation’s Passco Environmental Solutions Private Ltd.
The transportation vehicles of Passco are small size truck
upto 5 tonnes. They have implemented new technology for
small clinics less than 15 beds are two wheelers.
5. On site segregation
At the treatment plant segregation is important for selection
of the treatment method. All Bio medical waste is
segregated in reusable, non- reusable, contaminated, non-
contaminated.
6. Treatment
Treatments given to Bio medical waste are as:
a) Incineration
This is high temperature thermal process employing
combustion of the waste under controlled condition for
convert bio medical waste containing infectious and
pathological material into inert material and gases.
Incineration can be oil fired or electrically powered or a
combination. 85-90% of total Bio medical waste is treated
by incineration. Temperature used in incinerator is about
1100-1200degree celcieus and stack height about 30 m
above ground.
b)Autoclaving
The autoclave operates on the principle of standard pressure
cooker. The process involves using steam at high
temperature. The steam generated at high temperature
penetrates waste materials and kills the micro organism. The
system operates with temp 121 degree C and steam pressure
of 15psi. for 60 to 90 min. Autoclave treatment has been

recommended for micro biology and bio technology waste,
waste sharps.
c) Plasma pyrolysis
Plasma pyrolysis is a state of the art technology for safe
disposal of medical waste. It is an environment friendly
technology, which converts organic waste into commercially
useful byproducts. The intense heat generated by the plasma
enables it to disposed all types of wastes including
municipal solid waste, biomedicalwaste and hazardous
waste in a safe and reliable manner. Medical waste in
pyrolysed into CO,H2 and hydrocarbons when it comes in
contact with plasma arc.These gases are burned and
produced high temp about 1200 degree C.
d) Chemical Disinfection
High level disinfectants like chlorine releasing compounds
are used for disinfecting materials contaminated with blood
and its products. The disinfectants are as sodium
hypochlorite, calcium hypochlorite, NaOCl powder and
chloramine.
e) Microwaving with shredder
Shredders are used to destroy paper, plastic waste and
syringes. After autoclaving plastic waste is sent to shredder
and then the waste is sold out to authorized plastic molding
units. The microwave is based on the principle of generation
of high frequency wave. These waves cause the particles
within the waste material to vibrate, generating heat. The
heat generated and steam from within kills the all
pathogens.
7. Disposal
Incineration ash is used as landfill at soft soil, for
foundation. Also ash is used for embankments, in road
construction. Plastic is reused.
V. Conclusion
Poor management at study center.
No well-documented instructions.
Improper segregation.
Mixing of BMW with domestic waste and
commercial waste.
Due to poor segregation plastic waste reaches to
treatment site.
No general awareness
Illiteracy about Bio medical waste
No following of rules about bio medical waste
Insufficient training and education on medical waste
management to staff, workers or labours in health
care center.
Ignorance is high about health care due to mentality
and habits.
VI. Recommendations:-
This study indicates a need for training programs for
different levels of hospital staff in bio medical waste
management and education programs in bio medical waste
segregation, strict implementation and monitoring BMW
management will help in change the current practices.
Training programs on Bio medical waste management for
health care professionals need to focus on empowering them
with sufficiently broad and practical knowledge.
Improving waste minimization and management: If
proper segregation is achieved , the volume of
infectious wastes can be effectively reduce, while the
volume of recyclable wastes would increase, risks can
be minimized.
The Bio medical waste management plan should be
availed to all departments then a regular program of
inspection and review can be undertaken within the
hospital so segregation of BMW should be much better
than before.
A written Bio medical waste management program
must be included in a health care facility’s policy and
procedure manuals. It must also included in house
education, occupational health and safety, orientation
program for all employee.
There should be segregation at source according to
colour coded system.
Penalties should provided to the defaulters of Bio
medical waste.
Campaigning Programs must be arranged to increase
the awareness about bio medical waste handling.
There should be trained and educated separate staff in
health care centers for the handling of Bio medical
waste.
Well-documented instructions should be present and
implemented in hospitals about bio medical waste.
Records should be maintained of bio medical waste
quantity daily, monthly and annually.
CPCB, MPCB and corporations should provide strict
rules against Bio medical waste Also should conduct
audits of hospitals once in a year.
Research is required to establish a database.
