Introduction to BioMedical Waste
Any solid and or liquid including its container and any intermediate product, which is generated during diagnosis, treatment or immunization of human beings or animals which poses hazard due to two principal reasons – the first is infectivity and other toxicity.

Medical waste disposal represents one of the single most serious challenges for developing countries. Most of which is dumped on open land, presenting challenges for today’s generation and future generation to come.
Reuse of needles and unsafe injections are responsible for as many as 33 800 new HIV infections, 1.7 million hepatitis B infections and 315 000 hepatitis C infections
