Definition
“Any waste which is generated during the diagnosis, treatment or immunization of human beings or animals or in research activities pertaining thereto or in the production or testing of biological”
[Source: Biomedical Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 1998 of India]

MAGNITUDE OF THE PROBLEMGLOBALLY:• Developed countries generate 1 to 5 kg/bed/day• Developing countries: 1-2kg/pt/day WHO Report: • 85% non hazardous waste • 10% infective waste • 5% non-infectious but hazardous. (Chemical,
pharmaceutical and radioactive)• 2002, 22 countries, health care facilities not using
proper disposal 18%-64%

Hazardous waste generation

INDIA:• No national level study• Hospitals generate 1-2 kg/bed/day • BMW generation :
4,05,702 kg/day 2,91,983 kg/day is disposed 28% of the wastes is untreated
• 53.25% HCE – not authorized

Sources of biomedical wastesMajor Sources:• Govt. hospitals/private hospitals/nursing homes/
dispensaries.• Primary health centres.• Medical colleges and research centres/

LEGISLATIONS
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS FROM MoEF:• Environment protection act,1986:• Bio-medical waste management
rules,1998(RENEWED 2011)• Municipal solid waste rules,2000• Hazardous waste rules,1989• EIA Notification, July 2004
13
Bio-Medical Waste Rules 2011• Elaborate, stringent and several new
provisions have been added • Not applicable:
Radioactive waste, Hazardous waste,Municipal solid waste Battery waste
14
• Accident reporting must• HCE- BMWM unit & meetings• Mandatory treatment & disposal
– Adequate treatment facilities– Promote new technologies– Omitted- Incinerator & deep burial
• District level monitoring committee• Allocation : Funds & Equipments • Lacking: guidelines for linen & mattress, blood
bags & pressurized containers

PRINCIPLES OF MANAGING HEALTH CARE WASTE
1. Waste minimization2. Safe reuse & recycling3. Managing sharps
26
Waste minimization
• Source reduction• Management and control measures at
hospital level• Stock management of chemical and
pharmaceutical products
27
SAFE REUSE & RECYCLINGSterilization methods for reusable items:Thermal sterilization• Dry sterilization - Exposure to 160 °C for 120 minutes or
170 °C for 60 minutes in a “Poupinel” oven.• Wet sterilization - Exposure to saturated steam at 121°C
for 30 minutes in an autoclave.Chemical sterilization• Ethylene oxide - Exposure to an atmosphere saturated
with ethylene oxide for 3–8 hours, at 50–60°C, in a reactor tank
• Glutaraldehyde - Exposure to a glutaraldehyde solution for 30 minutes

• In 2000, WHO estimation-injections with contaminated syringes caused:– 21 million hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections (32%
of all new infections)– two million hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections (40%
of all new infections)– 260 000 HIV infections (5% of all new infections).
• One needle stick injury risks: – 30% -HBV– 1.8% -HCV– 0.3% -HIV.
