Disposal process
1. Incineration – This is the process of burning medical hazardous wastes. The
controlled air, rotary air and excess air are the most common incinerators used in this
process.
2. Thermal process – In this process, the thermal energy is used to destroy the pathogens
present in the wastes. Three types of thermal process – low-heat, medium heat and
high heat thermal process.
