“…The huge volume of biomedical waste can be reduced by the incineration methods up to 90% has a unique advantage ( Bio-Medical Waste Management Rules, 2016 ), since it requires minimum land utilization contrast to erstwhile treatment of clearing the biomedical waste ( Efaq et al, 2017 ). Similarly, the foremost detrimental aspect in making use of incinerators produce toxic smokes due to excessive burning process, which keeps on in the environment for a long time, leads to health and ecological problems ( Ananth et al, 2010 ).…”

“…S. aureus and E. faecalis grow again in treated sewage exposed to SODIS for 6 h, when the samples were incubated at 37 °C for 4 days. The bacterial regrowth may occur if the treatment process did not lead to physical damage of bacterial cell and PGP bioassay should be carried out (Al-Gheethi et al 2016a, b;Efaq et al 2017). PGP has been used to assay bacterial growth in drinking water disinfected by ozonation and different bio-filter systems (Berney et al 2006;Vital et al 2010).…”

The reuse of treated sewage for irrigation is considered as an important alternative water source in the new water management strategy of the countries that face a severe deficiency of water resources such as the Middle East countries. The organic material and fertilizing elements contained in biosolids are essential for maintaining soil fertility. However, both treated sewage and biosolids contain a large diversity of pathogens that would be transmitted to the environment and infect human directly or indirectly. Therefore, those pathogens should be reduced from the treated sewage and biosolids before the reuse in the agriculture. This paper reviews the considerations for reuse of treated sewage and biosolids in agriculture and further treatments used for reduction of pathogenic bacteria. The treatment methods used for the reduction of pathogens in these wastes have reviewed. It appeared that the main concern associated with the reduction of pathogenic bacteria lies in their ability to regrow in the treated sewage and biosolids. Therefore, the effective treatment method is that it has the potential to destruct pathogens cells and remove the nutrients to prevent the regrowth or recontamination from the surrounded environment. The removal of nutrients might be applicable in the sewage but not in the biosolids due to high nutrient contents. However, the reduction of health risk in the biosolids might be carried out by regulating the biosolid utilization and selecting the plant species grown in the fertilized soil with biosolids.

The biological hazard inherent in the clinical wastes should be considered during the management and treatment process as well as the disposal into the environment. In this chapter, the risks associated with the clinical wastes as well as the management of these wastes are discussed. The chapter focused on reviewing the types of healthcare wastes generated from hospitals and clinics as well as the regulations and management practices used for these wastes. Moreover, the health risk associated with the infectious agents which have the potential to be transmitted into the environment. It has appeared that the clinical wastes represent real hazards for the human health and the environment if they were not managed properly.
