How much you know about biomedical waste? Is it not necessary to include this in Environmental Science subject which is a compulsory subject in most of universities at graduate level study.
Is it not a good idea to include practical in EVS or project like plantation of tress and other contributions of students for controlling environmental pollution. This will create a sense of responsibility towards environment.
Biomedical waste is any waste which is generated during the diagnosis, treatment or immunization of human beings or animals or in research activities pertaining thereto or in the production or testing of biologicals.

Hi Jagmohan,
You can find very useful issues regarding your question in the attached file.
Best regards,
Dear Jagmohan Sharma
You are right that BMW should be included into the syllabus of EVS, as far as I know it is already in graduation students syllabus. In my institute also there is provision for EVS project. Faculty used to take them some biodiversity park, gave them assignments on recent topics of EVS.

In India, biomedical waste management system is not leak proof.
Many used medical items come to the market after just washing in the water. The waste gather in the private nursing homes AMD laboratories are just thrown in the garbage without any treatment. The overall hyginic condition is also very poor. You can get actual picture by collecting the single data:
How many nursing homes/ laboratories/ doctor's chambers/ dentist chamber are equipped with Autoclave and Hot air oven machine?
This is waste that is generated from medical/veterinary institutions such as clinics, hospitals training schools universities; medical/veterinary/research industries; biology laboratories, farms
Yes. The safe disposal of biomedical wast has only recently received the prominence it deserves. It is nice to see that both hospitals and Path labs have now stated following rules more stringently/
This is a vast and important part of a medical institute or industries....there is certain guidelines to be mandate for certain hospital those are accrediated by NABH or NABL or GMP certified like....
There are now strict regulations on this subject in India. Implementation at some places may be slack due to lack of monitoring, but it is only a matter of time before it is tightened-up.
Yes, very good questions. I agree with Murray answer " The safe disposal of biomedical wast has only recently received the prominence it deserves. It is nice to see that both hospitals and Path labs have now stated following rules more stringently".
