Biohazardous Waste Management

Biohazardous waste management involves the safe handling, treatment, and disposal of waste that poses a risk to health or the environment due to its biological nature. This includes materials like used medical equipment, contaminated lab supplies, and human tissues. Proper management ensures that these potentially harmful substances are segregated, treated (often through processes like autoclaving or incineration), and disposed of in a manner that prevents exposure to humans and wildlife. Regulations guide these practices, aiming to minimize risks and protect public health and the environment.
