The various types of wastes are generated within the hospital in the operation of various processes. Out of the total wastes produced 80-90% of the waste does not pose any risk and it is similar to domestic wastes. However other 10-20% of waste with greater risk is termed as health care waste/Bio-medical waste. The health care waste contains infectious material and hazardous substance which passes a risk not only to the health care providers and the sick, but also to the waste handlers and cause harm to the environment. |
