Biomedical Waste Management
Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Biomedical Waste Management

Abstract

One of the main sources of waste in healthcare is biomedical waste. Poor and inappropriate management of these wastes can have a major negative influence on the environment and public health. Various traditional and modern ways for biomedical treatment have been developed over the last few decades. Prevent, reduce, reuse, recycle, recover, treat, and finally discard are some of these techniques. The authors discussed a few traditional and cutting-edge methods for handling and preventing biomedical waste in this chapter. These technologies consist of composting, landfilling, and incineration. These developments are essential for tackling the problems associated with managing biomedical waste and encouraging environmentally friendly procedures in medical facilities across the globe. To advance this discipline, cooperation between researchers, decision-makers, and industry participants will be crucial.
