Adil Rasool Malik, Bhavyajeet Singh, Spinder Kour, Harmanpreet Singh, Apala Sharma, Shashank Varma

The development of waste management policies, plans, and protocols are strongly recommended, in addition to establishing training programs on proper waste management for all healthcare workers. Fewer waste treatment facilities such as plasma pyrolysis, encapsulation, inertisation have been introduced, and we have to do away with older facilities such as incineration as toxic fumes (dioxins and furans) are produced which are harmful to both health and environment. Health care professionals should be aware regarding safe disposal of biomedical waste to minimize biohazards to the environment.
