Abstract

Infectious and hazardous waste are engendering within health care and hospitals. The emissions of definite metals and chlorinated dioxins and furans in the flue gasses of medical waste are comparatively high as compared to the emissions from different combustion sources. Discriminate disposal of these wastes possesses a serious threat to the ecosystem and human health. Tremendous efforts have been made by the government to ensure the availability of medical disposal services. In general, the incineration method is one of the most extensively used techniques for the disposal of medical wastes. The process involves burning waste at a very high elevated temperature. The article deals with the fundamental problems as definition, categories of medical waste, and the process like segregation, storage, and transport and disposal methods are discussed. A statistics of CBMWTF operation under 11 districts surveyed. Effective biomedical waste management is mandatory for healthy humans and to the unstained environment.

Highlights

  • Biomedical waste is increasing day by day due to changes in the lifestyle and precautionary we do to prevent ourselves from the pandemic situation

  • Biomedical waste management and the incineration process emerged as issues of major concern to hospitals and the environment

  • The wastes generated must be collected in respective color-coded bags as mentioned in Biomedical Waste Management Guidelines

Summary

Introduction

Biomedical waste is increasing day by day due to changes in the lifestyle and precautionary we do to prevent ourselves from the pandemic situation. The wastes generated must be collected in respective color-coded bags as mentioned in Biomedical Waste Management Guidelines. These bags must be stored in a covered environment such that it’s not fused with the environment. The incineration of waste is a sterility (disinfected, hygiene) method of reducing its capacity and weight which reduces its potentials to pollute the atmosphere It involves the combustion of organic substances contained in waste materials. Catalytic Combustion Incinerator: It’s a activity, the most target is to reinforce the specific oxidation reaction of a fuel and to cut back the assembly of an undesired product, mainly pollutant nitrogen gases (NOx) This process is widely used all over the world. Thermal oxides are used to control the excess gas exiting out from the combustion process when it is complete
