HOSPITAL WASTE
MANAGEMENT
Dr. Nishant Kumar.
Introduction
 Biomedical Waste : It is any waste , which is generated during the
diagnosis ,treatment, or immunization of human- beings or animals or in
research activities pertaining thereto or in the production or in testing of
biologicals.
 Type of hospital waste :
a) General Waste : Constitute 75% to 90% , from administrative and
house keeping functions . This is ‘non risk’ waste.
b) Hazardous waste : Constitute 10-25% and may create variety of
health risk.
Source of Health Care Waste
 Government hospital
 Private Hospital
 Nursing Homes
 Physician office
 Dentists offices
 Dispensaries
 Medical research facility
 Primary health centers
 Mortuaries

Treatment and Disposal technologies for
health care waste
Incineration
Chemical
Disinfections
Wet and Dry
Thermal Treatment
Microwave
Irradiation
Land disposal
Incineration
 It is a high temperature dry oxidation process, that reduces organic and
combustible waste to inorganic incombustible matter and results in
significant reduction of waste volume and weight.
 It require no pretreatment , provided that certain waste type is not included
.
 Characteristic of waste that is suited for incineration are
 Low heating volume –above 2000 kcal/kg for single chamber
incinerators and above 3500 kcal/Kg for pyrolytic double chamber
incinerators.
 Content with combustible matter more than 60%.
 Content with non combustible matter below 5%.
 Content of non combustible solids below 5%
 Contents of non –combustible fines below 20%
 Contents of moisture below 30%.
Incineration (contd.)
 Not to be incinerated
– Pressurized gas containers.
– Large amount of reactive and chemical waste.
– Silver salts and photographic or radiographic wastes.
– Halogenated plastics , such as broken thermometers used batteries and
lead lined wooden panels .
– Sealed ampules or ampules containing heavy metals.
Incineration (contd.)
 Types of incinerators
 Double – chamber pyrolytic incinerators –it burns infectious
health care waste.
 Single chamber furnaces with static grates which should be
used only if pyrolytic incinerators are not affordable
 Rotary kilns operating at high temperature capable of
causing decomposition of genotoxic substance and heat
resistant chemicals
Chemical Disinfections
 Chemical are added to kill or inactivate the pathogen .
 This method is suited for liquid waste such as blood , urine ,
stools or hospital sewage.
 Solid waste including microbiological cultures , sharps , etc.
may be disinfected chemically with limitations.
Wet and Dry thermal treatment
 Wet Thermal Treatment or Steam disinfection : It is based on exposure of
shredded infectious waste to high temperature , high pressure steam and is
similar to the autoclave sterilization process. This process is inappropriate for the
treatment of anatomical waste and animal carcasses, and will not efficiently treat
chemical and pharmaceutical waste.
 Screw feed Technology : It is the basis of a non burn , dry thermal disinfection
process in which waste is shredded and heated in a rotating auger. The waste is
reduced by 80% in volume and by 20 -35% in weight . This process is suitable
for treating infectious waste and sharps , but it should not be used to process
pathological , cytotoxic or radioactive waste.
Microwave irradiation
 It destroys most of the organism by action of microwave
frequency of about 2450Mhz and a wavelength of 12.24nm .
The water is rapidly heated by microwave and the infectious
components are destroyed by heat conduction. The efficiency
of the microwave disinfection should be checked routinely
through bacteriological and virological testing.
Land Disposal
 They are two type of land disposal
 Open dumps: Not the preferred method of disposal of medical
waste .It poses great risk to people and animal in contact.
 Sanitary Land fills:
 Advantages over open dumps are
 Geological Isolation of waste from environment
 Appropriate engineering preparation before sire is ready to
accept waste
 Staff present on the site to control operations
 Organized deposit and daily coverage of waste
Inertization
 It involves mixing waste with cements and other substances
before disposal in order to minimize the risk of toxic substance
contained in the wastes migrating to the surface water or
ground water.
 A typical proportion is 65% pharmaceutical waste , 15% lime ,
15% cement and 5 % water . A homogenous mass is formed
and cubes or pellets are produced on site and then transported
to suitable storage sites.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Type of Disposal Advantages Disadvantages
Rotary Kilin Adequate for all infectious waste
, most chemical waste and
pharmaceutical waste
High investment and
operating cost
Pyrolytic incinerators Very high disinfection efficiency.
Adequate for all infections waste
and most pharmaceutical and
chemical waste
Incomplete destruction of
cytotoxic . Relative high
investment and operating
cost
Drum or brick
incinerator
Drastic reduction of weight and
volume
Destroys only 99% of
microorganism . No
destruction of many
chemicals and
pharmaceuticals.
Advantage and Disadvantages
Type of Disposal Advantages Disadvantages
Chemical Disinfection Highly efficient disinfection
under good operating
conditions
Requires highly qualified
technician's for operation of
the process
Wet thermal Treatment Environmentally sound Shredders are subject to
frequent breakdown and
poor functioning
Microwave irradiation Good disinfection efficiency
under appropriate
conditions
Relatively high investment
and operating cost
Encapsulation Simple, Low cost and safe No recommended for sharps
Inertization Relative inexpensive Not applicable to infectious
waste
Safe burring Inexpensive Safe only if access to site is
limited
Bio Medical Waste Management in India
 Bio medical Waste ( management and handling) Rule 1998 , prescribed by
Ministry of Environment and Forests , Government of India came into
force on 26th July 1998.
 The Rule applies to those who generate , collect , receive , store or handle
bio medical waste in any manner.
 This Act is now superceded by the Bio- Medical Waste management rule
2016, which came into force from 28th March 2016.

  • 6. Treatment and Disposal technologies for health care waste Incineration Chemical Disinfections Wet and Dry Thermal Treatment Microwave Irradiation Land disposal
  • 7. Incineration  It is a high temperature dry oxidation process, that reduces organic and combustible waste to inorganic incombustible matter and results in significant reduction of waste volume and weight.  It require no pretreatment , provided that certain waste type is not included .  Characteristic of waste that is suited for incineration are  Low heating volume –above 2000 kcal/kg for single chamber incinerators and above 3500 kcal/Kg for pyrolytic double chamber incinerators.  Content with combustible matter more than 60%.  Content with non combustible matter below 5%.  Content of non combustible solids below 5%  Contents of non –combustible fines below 20%  Contents of moisture below 30%.
  • 8. Incineration (contd.)  Not to be incinerated – Pressurized gas containers. – Large amount of reactive and chemical waste. – Silver salts and photographic or radiographic wastes. – Halogenated plastics , such as broken thermometers used batteries and lead lined wooden panels . – Sealed ampules or ampules containing heavy metals.
  • 9. Incineration (contd.)  Types of incinerators  Double – chamber pyrolytic incinerators –it burns infectious health care waste.  Single chamber furnaces with static grates which should be used only if pyrolytic incinerators are not affordable  Rotary kilns operating at high temperature capable of causing decomposition of genotoxic substance and heat resistant chemicals
  • 10. Chemical Disinfections  Chemical are added to kill or inactivate the pathogen .  This method is suited for liquid waste such as blood , urine , stools or hospital sewage.  Solid waste including microbiological cultures , sharps , etc. may be disinfected chemically with limitations.
  • 11. Wet and Dry thermal treatment  Wet Thermal Treatment or Steam disinfection : It is based on exposure of shredded infectious waste to high temperature , high pressure steam and is similar to the autoclave sterilization process. This process is inappropriate for the treatment of anatomical waste and animal carcasses, and will not efficiently treat chemical and pharmaceutical waste.  Screw feed Technology : It is the basis of a non burn , dry thermal disinfection process in which waste is shredded and heated in a rotating auger. The waste is reduced by 80% in volume and by 20 -35% in weight . This process is suitable for treating infectious waste and sharps , but it should not be used to process pathological , cytotoxic or radioactive waste.
  • 12. Microwave irradiation  It destroys most of the organism by action of microwave frequency of about 2450Mhz and a wavelength of 12.24nm . The water is rapidly heated by microwave and the infectious components are destroyed by heat conduction. The efficiency of the microwave disinfection should be checked routinely through bacteriological and virological testing.
  • 13. Land Disposal  They are two type of land disposal  Open dumps: Not the preferred method of disposal of medical waste .It poses great risk to people and animal in contact.  Sanitary Land fills:  Advantages over open dumps are  Geological Isolation of waste from environment  Appropriate engineering preparation before sire is ready to accept waste  Staff present on the site to control operations  Organized deposit and daily coverage of waste
  • 14. Inertization  It involves mixing waste with cements and other substances before disposal in order to minimize the risk of toxic substance contained in the wastes migrating to the surface water or ground water.  A typical proportion is 65% pharmaceutical waste , 15% lime , 15% cement and 5 % water . A homogenous mass is formed and cubes or pellets are produced on site and then transported to suitable storage sites.
  • 15. Advantages and Disadvantages Type of Disposal Advantages Disadvantages Rotary Kilin Adequate for all infectious waste , most chemical waste and pharmaceutical waste High investment and operating cost Pyrolytic incinerators Very high disinfection efficiency. Adequate for all infections waste and most pharmaceutical and chemical waste Incomplete destruction of cytotoxic . Relative high investment and operating cost Drum or brick incinerator Drastic reduction of weight and volume Destroys only 99% of microorganism . No destruction of many chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
