WHO has estimated that
In year 2000
• 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)
Developed Countries- 1-5 kg/bed/day, with variations
among countries.
In India-
1-2 kg/bed/day with variation among
Govt. and Private establishments.
Approximately 506.74 tons/ day wastes generated

How did BMW come into Existence
• In the late 1980’s
– Items such as used syringes washed up on several East Coast
beaches USA
– Concern about HIV and HBV virus infection
– Lead to development of Biomedical Waste Management Law
in USA.
• However in India the seriousness about the management
came into lime light only after 1990’s.
LEGISLATION
• Recognizing the deadliest nature of the Bio-Medical
Waste, the Government and Pollution Control
Boards under the guidelines of Ministry of
Environment and Forests(MOEF).
• MOEF have promptly designed and issued
guidelines to the hospitals to ensure a proper and
safe disposal of bio-medical waste
• “BIO-MEDICAL WASTE Management & Handling
RULE 1998 came into effect.
• Provides uniform guidelines and code of practice for
Bio-medical waste management.
Biomedical Waste
Management and Handling Rules, 1998
[Amended in 2000]
• These rules apply to all persons who generate,
collect, receive, store, transport, treat, dispose
or handle bio-medical waste in any form. All
Institutions generating BMW must take all steps
to ensure that such waste is handled without any
adverse effect to human health and the
environment
PENALTIES AS PER RULES
• The PENALTIES are as specified in
Environment (Protection) Act 1986.
• Imprisonment for upto five years with fine
upto one lakh rupees, or both.
• In case the failure additional fine upto five
thousand rupees for every day.

Source Reduction
• Source Reduction - ways to lessen the amount
of material
– Segregation - keeping noninfectious waste out of
the infectious waste stream
– Minimization - reduce or eliminate waste at the
source
– Engineering controls - methods to reduce quantity
of waste(smaller containers)
Steps to Manage Hazardous Wastes
before Disposal
1. Know what hazards
you have.
2. Purchase smallest
quantity needed, and
don’t purchase
hazardous materials if
safe alternative exists
**Use mercury-free thermometers

Segregation of waste
At the point of generation
In a color coded leak-proof container
Container should bear 'Biohazard' symbol and
appropriate wording
Container should never be completely filled
Segregation of waste should be
observed strictly
To avoid mixing of general (non-infectious) waste
into infectious waste. Once mixed, becomes
infectious and should not be removed.
To reduce infectious waste
To decrease expenditure on disposal of infectious
waste

Responsibility
Infection control is everyone's business.
You are not only protecting yourself, but
also those around you
Conclusion
 Thus refuse disposal cannot be solved without public
education.
 Individual participation is required.
 Municipality and government should pay importance to
disposal of waste economically.
 Thus educating and motivating oneself first is important
and then preach others about it.
 PPE does not replace proper procedures and techniques,
consider all as hazard.

Editor's Notes

  1. Adequate medical supplies are already a problem for many developing countries like India, but disposal of biomedical waste is another, more serious matter
  2. Inadequate waste management thus will cause environmental pollution, unpleasant smell, growth and multiplication of vectors like insects, rodents and worms and may lead to the transmission of diseases like typhoid, cholera, hepatitis and AIDS through injuries from syringes and needles contaminated with human. Although there are no exhaustive documented studies on health hazards associated with poor hospital waste management, some indicators like progressive increase in hospital infection rate, increasing resistance to wide variety of antibiotics are the pointers to the way in which poor hospital waste management can contribute to the ill health plaguing the health care institutions.   In addition to health risks associated with the poor management of bio-medical waste, due consideration must be given to the impact on environment, especially to the risks of pollution of water, air and soil. Hence, collection and disposal of waste in the proper manner is of great importance as it can decrease directly and indirectly health risk to people, and damage to flora, fauna and the environment 
  3. Commonest infections, which can result from mishandling of hospital/health care waste, are gastro enteric through faeces and/or vomit (Salmonella, Shigella spp., Vibrio Cholera, Helminthes; Hepatitis A), Respiratory through inhaled secretions; saliva (Mycobacterium tuberculosis; measles virus; streptococcus pneumonae), Ocular infections through eye secretions (Herpes virus), Genital infections (Neisseria gonnorrhoeae; herpes virus), Skin infection through pus (Streptococcus spp.), meningitis through Cerebrospinal fluid (neisseria meningitides), AIDS through blood and sexual secretions (HIV), Haemorrhagic fevers through body fluids (Junin, Lassa, Ebola and Marburg viruses), Septicaemia and  bacteraemia through blood (staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus, enterobacter, klebsiella and streptococcus) and Viral Hepatitis B & C through blood and body fluids (hepatitis B and C viruses).
