Bio-medical waste can be very hazardous particularly when mixed with municipal solid waste. This leads to higher degree of environmental pollution apart from posing health risk, which may spread infection diseases like AIDS, Hepatitis, Cholera etc. Improper practices, lack of adequate knowledge among health care establishments staff effects not only people who come in direct contact with Bio Medical Waste
Since beginning, the hospitals are known for the treatment of sick persons but we are unaware about the adverse effects of the garbage and filth generated by them on human body and environment. Now it is a well established fact that hospital waste is a potential health hazard to the health care workers, public and flora and fauna of the area.
The act was passed by the Ministry of Environment and Forests in 1986 & notified the Bio-Medical Waste (Management and Handling) Rules in July 1998. In accordance with these rules, it is the duty of every “occupier” i.e. a person who has control over the institution or its premises, to take all steps to ensure that waste generated is handled without any adverse effect on human health and environment.
