Hospital Waste Management in Amravati City
Resumo
Hospital waste is one of the major problems in developing countries like India because it causes health impact on human being, plant and on environment. Still hospital waste is disposed on road side, which increases health impact on man and animal. This work mainly focuses on hospital waste management for Amravati city, which consists of collection, segregation, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal. The hospitals are categories in A, B, C, and D groups have been studied to assess the quantity of different types of waste generated, total average waste generated per day and waste generation rate per bed per day. Therefore, on the basis of quantity and type of waste generated the treatment/disposal technique has been suggested. The total average waste generated in hospital A, B, C, and D is studied as per Amravati Municipal Corporation (AMC) list. The amount of hospital waste generated in each hospital is significant, therefore, proper waste management is necessary in due time. It is suggested that a common waste treatment facility for a group of hospitals is best for private hospitals of Amravati.
