Biological Medical Waste

Any waste containing infectious (or possibly contagious) items is classified as biomedical waste or hospital waste. It may also include waste associated with the generation of biomedical waste that appears to be of medical or laboratory origin (e.g., packaging, unused bandages, infusion kits, etc.) as well as research laboratory waste containing biomolecules or organisms that are primarily restricted from release into the environment. Sharps, whether infected or not, are considered biomedical waste because they can be contaminated with blood and have the potential to cause injury if not properly managed and disposed of. A type of biowaste is biomedical trash. Biomedical waste comes in two forms: solid and liquid. Biomedical waste is produced by biological and medical sources and activities such disease diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. Biomedical waste is separate from regular garbage or household waste, as well as other sorts of hazardous waste including chemical, radioactive, universal, or industrial waste. Hazardous chemicals and radioactive materials are generated at medical institutions. While these wastes are usually not infectious, they must be disposed of properly. Some wastes, such as formalin-preserved tissue samples, are deemed multi hazardous.
