Waste accumulation and storage : occurs
between the point of waste generation and site of waste treatment and disposal. disposal.



Waste transportation : when medical waste
is not treated on site, untreated waste must be transported from the generation facility to another site for treatment and disposal. disposal.

Waste treatment : is mainly required to disinfect or decontaminate the waste, right at the source so that it is no longer the source of pathogenic organisms. Waste disposal : vary in their capabilities, cost, availability to generation and impact on the environment.

COST OF BIOMEDICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT :
Two types of costs are required to be incurred by external. hospitals for BMW Mgt, internal and external.  Internal cost includes cost for segregation, mutilation, disinfection, internal storage and transportation including hidden cost of protective equipment. equipment.  External cost involves off site transport of waste, treatment and final disposal. disposal.  Govt. of India in its pilot project for hospital waste mgt in Govt. Govt. Govt. hospitals has estimated Rs.85 lakhs as capital cost Rs. in 1000 bedded super specialty teaching hospital which includes on site final -MEDICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT . disposal of BMW BMW. 08-0508-05-2009 BIOBIO 17


WASTE TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL :
1.

INCINERATION : High temperature
thermal process employing combustion of the waste under controlled condition for converting them into inert material and gases. gases.

08-0508-05-2009

TYPES OF INCINERATION: INCINERATION:






Double-chamber pyrolytic incinerators specially designed to burn infectious health-care waste. Single-chamber furnaces with static grate, used only if pyrolytic incinerators are not affordable. Rotary kilns operating at high temperature, capable of causing decomposition of genotoxic substances and heat-resistant chemicals.

DISINFECTION:
CHEMICAL DISINFECTION : Recommended for liquid wastes as well as chemical wastes involving the use of at least 1% hypochlorite solution with other equivalent reagents like phenolic compounds, iodine etc. for a etc. minimum contact period of 30 minutes. minutes. THERMAL DISINFECTION: generally used for treating solid waste.

INDIAN SCENARIO :
Legislation: Bio-Medical Waste Regulations 1998 ‡ Classified in ten categories; ‡ Color coding and types of containers for different categories and their corresponding treatment & disposal option with standards.  Generation: 0.33 million tons/year  Prevalent Practice : ‡ Poorly managed incinerators;««..or back yard burners? ‡ Open burial pits posing a threat to public; ‡ Sharps collected/reused without cleaning or sterilization.


After a Sristi¶s (NGO) intervention in 1997, Court directed Central Pollution Control Board to emphasize on non-burn technology

CONCLUSIONS :


Safe and effective management of waste is not only a legal necessity but also a social responsibility. responsibility. Lack of concern, motivation, awareness and cost are some of the problems faced in the proper biomedical waste management. management. Clearly there is a need for education as to the hazards associated with the improper waste disposal. disposal. A LESSER amount of biomedical waste means a lesser burden on waste disposal work, cost saving and a more efficient disposal system. system.









Hence, health care providers should always try to reduce the waste generation in day to day work in the clinic or at 08-0508-05-2009 BIOBIO-MEDICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT 34 the hospital. hospital.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND FOLLOW UP :


All health care facilities generating Bio-medical waste shall strictly ensure segregation, color coding and other provisions of Bio-medical waste (Management & Handling) rules, 1998 and amendments thereof. Incinerators, which do not confirm to the design and emission norms as per rules, must be modified and air pollution control system may be retrofitted to minimize the emission level.

The operator should ensure proper operation and management (O&M) of incinerator through attainment of required temperature in both the chambers, regular operation of the incinerator, proper maintenance of the logbook and storage of the waste in isolated area, plastic incineration should not be undertaken
BIOBIO-MEDICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT 36

08-0508-05-2009



Proper training and personal safety equipment / accessories should be provided to waste handling staff. Records of waste generation, treatment and disposal should be maintained by the hospital. hospital. Various regulatory agencies, hospitals, medical association and municipal corporation should work together for proper management of BioBiomedical waste in the cities / towns. towns.
