Boimedical Waste Management Towards Minimising Environment Toxicity Parameters on Safetly Aspects

Abstract

Biomedical waste management is a critical aspect of ensuring environmental sustainability and public health safety. With the increasing generation of biomedical waste due to advancements in healthcare facilities and population growth, the effective and safe disposal of this waste has become a pressing concern. This study aims to evaluate biomedical waste management practices, focusing on minimizing environmental toxicity and enhancing safety parameters. It explores the segregation, collection, transportation, treatment, and disposal methods employed in healthcare facilities, highlighting their impact on environmental and human health. Emphasis is placed on innovative technologies such as autoclaving, microwaving, and chemical disinfection, alongside sustainable practices like recycling and reusing non-hazardous materials. The study also examines regulatory frameworks, compliance levels, and the role of awareness and training among healthcare personnel in achieving optimal waste management outcomes. The findings underscore the need for stricter enforcement of guidelines, investment in modern waste treatment technologies, and the adoption of eco-friendly practices to mitigate toxicity risks. This research contributes to developing an integrated approach to biomedical waste management, ensuring environmental protection and safeguarding public health.
