Question

How can infectious solid waste and chemical waste be disposed in a proper way?

Hint:

Always follow biomedical waste rules to protect health and the environment.

Answer 1

Proper disposal of hospital waste prevents infections and environmental hazards.
1. Infectious Solid Waste: Collect in color-coded, leak-proof bags or containers.
Treat by autoclaving or incineration to kill pathogens before final disposal.
2. Chemical Waste: Store chemicals separately in sealed, labeled containers.
Neutralize or treat chemical waste as per guidelines, then dispose through secured landfills or authorized agencies.
Never mix chemical waste with general waste or drains.
