Biomedical Waste
Most wastes generated by hospitals and medical clinics are non-hazardous general wastes from non-clinical activities (i.e., including kitchen wastes, office materials, workshop residuals) and patient
processing activities in wards which are not handling infectious diseases (i.e., first aid packaging, used but emptied disposable bed liners and diapers, disposable masks, pharmaceutical packaging, etc.).
Potentially hazardous wastes from hospitals and clinics which have a pathogenic, chemical, explosive, or radioactive nature are called “medical wastes”. Medical wastes include the following:
-
Pathological wastes (i.e., body parts, aborted fetus, tissue and body fluids from surgery; and dead infected laboratory animals);
-
Infectious waste (i.e., surgical dressings and bandages, infected laboratory beddings, infectious cultures and stocks from laboratories, and all waste from patients in isolation wards handling infectious diseases such as COVID 19)
-
Sharps (i.e., needles, syringes, used instruments, broken glass)
-
Pharmaceutical wastes (i.e., soiled or out-of-date pharmaceutical products, expired vaccines)
-
Chemical wastes (i.e., spent solvents, disinfectants, pesticides and diagnostic chemicals)
-
Aerosols (i.e., aerosol containers or gas canisters which may explode if incinerated or punctured)
-
Radioactive wastes (i.e., sealed sources in instruments, and open sources used in vitro diagnosis or nuclear medical therapy)
-
Sludges from any on-site wastewater treatment facilities may be potentially hazardous.
