2. BIO -MEDICAL WASTE
DEFINITION-
According to the bio medical
rules,1998 of India, BIO MEDICAL WASTE means any
waste which is generated during the diagnosis,
treatment or immunization of human beings or animals
or in research activities or in production or in testing
the bio medicals.

3. IMPORTANT INFO.

5. SOURCES OF BIO MEDICAL WASTE
 Government/Private hospitals.
 Nursing Homes.
 Physician’s office or clinic.
 Dispensaries.
 Medical research and training centre.
 Bio tech production centre.
 Bio labs or research centres.

6. CLASSIFICATION OF BIO MEDICAL WASTE
 Infectious Waste.
 Pathological Waste.
 Sharp Waste.
 Pharmaceutical Waste.
 Radio Active Waste.

7. INFECTIOUS WASTE
 This are the portion of
medical waste that
could transmit an
“infectious disease”.
 Infectious waste-
 Lab cultures.
 Waste from isolation
wards.
 Equipments of infected
patients.

8. PATHOLOGICAL WASTE
 Waste removed during
surgery or other
medical process
including body
fluid,tissues,organs.
 specimens along their
containers.
 Pathological waste-
 Body fluid.
 Tissues.
 Body parts.

12. TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL OF BIOMEDICAL WASTE
 Treatment and disposal of biomedical waste can be
done using following methods—
 Incineration.
 Autoclaving.
 Shredding.
 Disposal option.

13. INCINERATION
 Incineration process requires high temp. Combustion
under control condition to convert infectious waste
into inert gases and minerals.
 85% to 90% of the total BMW is done by this
process.
 The key parameters of an Incinerator are-
 Temp should be 900-1000*c.
 The waste to be exposed for at least for 2 sec.
 Should have an air pollution control equipment.
