Chayan Mondal is a student with code BWU-BMT-20-048 studying under teacher Sayani Pal Choudhury about biomedical waste management systems. Biomedical waste includes any waste produced from healthcare facilities and can be infectious, containing pathogens like HIV, hepatitis, or antibiotic-resistant bacteria, or non-infectious. It is categorized into 10 types and treated through processes of collection, segregation, storage, treatment, transport, and final disposal usually by incineration, autoclaving, chemical treatment, or secured landfilling.

3. Hazard
1. Sharps
 HIV
 Hepatitis B
 Hepatitis C
 Antibiotic resistant bacteria
2. Chemical and pharmaceutical
 Corrosive
 Burns
 Explosives
3. Genotoxic Waste
 Toxic manifestations depend upon
- Substance toxicity
- Amount exposed to end
- Time period of exposure
4. Radio active waste
 Headache, Dizziness and vomiting after small
exposure
 Serious health problems if exposure is high
5. Public sensitivity
 Public is very sensitive to the visual impact of health care waste
