1.What is "Bio-medical Waste" as per the Bio-Medical Waste Rules 2016?[2]
Answer
Definition. Under rule 3(f) of the Bio-Medical Waste Management Rules, 2016, "bio-medical waste" means any waste generated during any of the following.
- The diagnosis, treatment or immunisation of human beings or animals.
- Research activities relating to them.
- The production or testing of biologicals.
- Health camps.
It includes the categories listed in Schedule I.
The four colour categories in Schedule I.
- Yellow. Human and animal anatomical waste, soiled waste such as bloodied dressings, expired medicines, chemical waste, and microbiology waste.
- Red. Contaminated recyclable items such as tubing, catheters, intravenous sets, urine bags and gloves.
- White (translucent). Sharps such as needles, blades and scalpels, in puncture-proof containers.
- Blue. Glassware, such as broken vials and ampoules, and metallic body implants.
Why it is dangerous. It can spread infections such as hepatitis B and HIV through needle-stick injuries. It can also release toxic chemicals. Waste picked by rag-pickers or scattered by animals spreads disease.
How it must be handled.
- Segregation at the point of generation, into the right colour, under rule 8.
- No mixing with ordinary municipal waste.
- Storage of untreated anatomical and soiled waste not beyond forty-eight hours, unless the authority is told why.
- Treatment at the occupier's own facility or a common bio-medical waste treatment facility.
History. The 2016 Rules replaced the Bio-Medical Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 1998.
