(UNIT-II)
Waste Generation
• Medical ward –dressing, bandages, hypodermic needles,

fluids & excreta, contaminated packaging, meal scraps.
• Operation theaters & surgical wards – anatomical waste
• Immunization ward - hypodermic needles & stringers, residual
vaccine, cotton swabs & ampoules

amount of infectious waste
• Laboratories – pathological & highly infectious waste
• Pharmaceutical & chemical stores – small quantities of waste,
mainly packaging & general waste
• Support Unit – general waste
• General physician’s clinics – Infectious waste & sharps
• Dental clinics – heavy metal content
• Nurse’s station - Infectious waste & sharps
• Home healthcare – dialysis, insulin injection
Factors influence the quality &
