Hint:

\textbf{Public Health: Biomedical Waste Management.} Understanding the color-coding system for biomedical waste disposal is crucial for preventing infections and ensuring environmental safety in healthcare settings. Each color represents a specific category of waste and the required disposal method.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Matching the medical waste categories with the appropriate color-coded containers for their disposal according to biomedical waste management guidelines: (A) Metallic Body Implants: These are typically collected in cardboard boxes with blue coloured marking (II). (B) Intravenous Tubes and Sets, Catheters, Urine bags: These are usually collected in autoclave safe plastic bags (IV) for sterilization and further disposal. (C) Expired or discarded antibiotics, cytotoxic drugs: These fall under chemical waste and are typically collected in yellow colored non chlorinated plastic bags (I). (D) Wastes like Blood bags laboratory cultures: These are infectious wastes and are generally collected in red colored non chlorinated plastic bags (III) for autoclaving or incineration. Therefore, the correct matching is (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III).
