The challenge before us, therefore, is to scientifically manage growing quantities of biomedical waste that go beyond past practices. If we want to protect our environment and health of community we must sensitize our selves to this important issue not only in the interest of health managers but also in the interest of community.

A survey helps in evaluation both the type and quantity of waste generated in hospitals. Aims: Differentiate the types of waste Quantify the waste generated Determine the points of generation & type of waste generated at each point Determine the level of generation & disinfection within the hospital To find out the type of disposal carried out 7/30/2011 Biomedical Waste (BMW) Management 17Segregation : Segregation Segregation refers to the basic separation of different categories of waste generated at source and thereby reducing the risks as well as cost of handling and disposal. Segregation is the most crucial step in bio-medical waste management. Effective segregation alone can ensure effective bio-medical waste management. The BMWs must be segregated in accordance to guidelines laid down under schedule 1 of BMW Rules, 1998. 7/30/2011 Biomedical Waste (BMW) Management 18Collection : Collection 7/30/2011 Biomedical Waste (BMW) Management 19 The collection of biomedical waste involves use of different types of container . The containers/ bins should be placed in such a way that 100 % collection is achieved. Sharps must always be kept in puncture-proof containers to avoid injuries and infection to the workers handling them.Storage : Storage 7/30/2011 Biomedical Waste (BMW) Management 20 Once collection occurs then biomedical waste is stored in a proper place. Segregated wastes of different categories need to be collected in identifiable containers. The duration of storage should not exceed for 8-10 hrs in big hospitals (more than 250 bedded) and 24 hrs in nursing homes. Each container may be clearly labelled to show the ward or room where it is kept. The reason for this labelling is that it may be necessary to trace the waste back to its source. Besides this, storage area should be marked with a caution sign.Transport: Transport 7/30/2011 21 Biomedical Waste (BMW) ManagementHandling Devices: Handling Devices Trolleys Wheelbarrows Chutes 7/30/2011 22 Biomedical Waste (BMW) ManagementTreatment: Treatment Chemical processes Thermal processes Mechanical processes Irradiation processes Biological processes 7/30/2011 Biomedical Waste (BMW) Management 23Chemical Processes: Chemical Processes 7/30/2011 Biomedical Waste (BMW) Management 24Thermal Processes: Thermal Processes 7/30/2011 Biomedical Waste (BMW) Management 25Mechanical Processes: Mechanical Processes 7/30/2011 Biomedical Waste (BMW) Management 26Irradiation Processes: Irradiation Processes Exposes wastes to ultraviolet or ionizing radiation in an enclosed chamber.

It is claimed that biological reactions will not only decontaminate the waste but also cause the destruction of all the organic constituents so that only plastics, glass, and other inert will remain in the residues. 7/30/2011 Biomedical Waste (BMW) Management 28DO’s & DONT’s: DO’s & DONT’s 7/30/2011 Biomedical Waste (BMW) Management 29Conclusion: Conclusion We need innovative and radical measures to clean up the distressing picture of lack of civic concern on the part of hospitals and slackness in government implementation of bare minimum of rules, as waste generation particularly biomedical waste imposes increasing direct and indirect costs on society.
