Investigation of various medical wastes and its impact on environmental pollution
Keywords:
environmental pollution, public health, environmental concern, medical waste disposal, ophthalmologistsAbstract
Medical waste is not given enough attention in India, which is one of the fastest economically developing countries in the world. The handling and disposal of sanitary ware by municipal employees, the public, and the great health of the environment creates risks. The amount and composition of medical waste will serve as a basis for a successful management plan if adequate and accurate information is available. Only 41 percent of medical waste disposal workers are properly trained, and only 38.9 percent of medical waste is properly divided. Medical waste made up of plastic products accounts for about 35 percent of the total. This is a sustainable resource recovery and recycling opportunity. More than enough infectious waste remains to prevent a storage catastrophe. Compliance with medical waste environmentally sustainable management in all countries is essential. There is currently no national law in place to govern medical waste management in India, but its 13 regional governments have adopted terms related to the management of medical waste for both health and environmental protection. Spanish regional law studies have yielded positive results in this article. Some differences in criteria were discovered in our study of sorting, collection, storage, transport, treatment, and removal procedures.
