Effects of medical waste on the <\/strong>environment<\/span><\/h5>\n

The most serious effect that medical waste<\/strong><\/span> has on our seas is the discharge of poisons into the waters that could then be consumed by ocean life creatures. Toxins would interject into the food chain and eventually reach humans who consume sea creatures. Human exposure to such toxins can stunt human growth development and cause birth defects. The high volume of plastic<\/strong> <\/span>use in the medical field also poses a dangerous threat to the environment. Our current reliance on plastic materials is rooted in their unique capabilities to be lightweight, cost-effective, and durable while preserving the sterility of medical equipment<\/p>\n

Medical waste management<\/span> <\/strong><\/h5>\n

In the United States, in addition to on-site treatment or pickup by a medical waste disposal<\/strong> <\/span>firm for off-site treatment, a mail back disposal option allows generators of waste to return it to the manufacturer. For instance, waste medicines and equipment can be returned. The waste is shipped through the U.S. postal service. \u00a0U.S. states, mail-back medical waste disposal is limited by very strict postal regulations<\/p>\n

In India, though there are a number of different disposal methods, the situation is desultory and most are harmful rather than helpful. If body fluids are present, the material needs to be incinerated or put into an autoclave. Although this is the proper method, most medical facilities fail to follow the regulations. It is often found that medical waste is dumped into the ocean, or in landfills Improper disposal can lead to many diseases in animals as well as humans. For example, animals, such as cows in Pondicherry, India, are consuming the infected waste and eventually, these infections can be transported to humans who consume their meat or milk<\/p>\n

\"biomedical<\/p>\n

The latest guidelines for segregation of medical waste<\/strong><\/span> recommend the following color coding<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Red Bag \u2013 <\/strong>Syringes (without needles), soiled gloves, catheters, IV tubes etc. should be all<\/p>\n

disposed of in a red colored bag, which will later be incinerated<\/p>\n

Yellow Bag \u2013 <\/strong>All dressings, bandages and cotton swabs with body fluids, blood bags, human<\/p>\n

anatomical waste, body parts are to be discarded in yellow bags<\/p>\n

Cardboard box with blue marking \u2013 <\/strong>Glass vials, ampules, other glass ware is to be discarded<\/p>\n

in a cardboard box with a blue marking\/sticker<\/p>\n

White Puncture Proof Container (PPC) \u2013 <\/strong>Needles, sharps, blades are disposed of in a white container<\/p>\n

Black Bags \u2013 <\/strong>These are to be used for non-bio-medical waste. In a hospital setup, this includes vegetable and fruit peels, leftovers, packaging<\/strong> <\/span>such as medicines, disposable caps, disposable masks, disposable shoe-covers, disposable tea cups, cartons, sweeping dust, kitchen waste etc<\/p>\n
