Bio-medical waste has become a major concern in the world over as it poses serious environmental hazard. The collection and disposal of bio-hazardous liquid can pose a significant risk and occupational challenge to hospital staff as microbial content in this waste may contain significant pathogens. Occupational risks associated with working in Health Care Establishments (HCE's), need to take proper precautions in handling any material from these centers.The scope of this study is limited to bio-medical liquid waste management as per Bio-medical waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 1998 prescribed by CPCB. The objective of this study was to assess the waste handling and treatment system of hospital biomedical liquid waste & its mandatory compliance with Regulatory Notification of Bio-medical waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 1998, under Environmental Protection Act-1986, Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Government of India. In accordance with rules, every hospital generating liquid BMW needs to set up requisite treatment facilities of BMW in site. Here we have carried out detailed field study for liquid bio-medical waste in selected HCE's for quantification and characterization of liquid medical waste streams from the different facilities i.e. operation theatre laboratories etc. Also study the existing wastewater management system of these selected HCE's. To assess the feasibility of discharging the liquid bio-medical waste into sewer, with or without treatment and if treatment is required then use the techno-viable treatment schemes for HCE's.
SARS-CoV-2, most generally known as Coronavirus, was arisen first in the Wuhan city of China in the late 2019 and ended up being an exceptional danger to the entire world from that point forward. It has genuinely forced a limitation on living souls in numerous nations and has shown us a better approach for living [1]. Being the second-most crowded country on the planet and one of the forces to be reckoned with in the progression as far as COVID disease, India is looking for outrageous results of this excessive flare-up than numerous different nations comparable. Aside from the wide range of various challenges set forward by the presence of SAR-CoV-2, there is a need of appropriate administration to deal with the various kinds of strong waste particularly Biomedical Waste (BMW) rising up out of various medical care offices, quarantine homes, and focuses, that is showing up in an immense sum each day and the potential difficulties we are confronting while at the same time facing the issue of this waste, that could be a source itself to spread this infectious infection, if not took care of and treated appropriately [2]. In this paper, we have talked about momentarily the powerlessness of the infection because of biomedical waste delivered every day because of relieving tainted patients. We also put across the provokes and the answer for handle this loss in India before it is discarded.
