Description & Coverage
Description:

A host of activities in the healthcare industry generates substantive hospital waste. However, its unsound disposal is a grave concern and poses an alarming threat to the environment and health of humanity due to not only the generation of magnanimous amounts of waste but also the non-biodegradability of byproducts formed. The improper disposal of unused medicines and hospital waste is responsible for ecological degradation and growing concern at both local and global levels.

These wastes are medicines and drugs that can no longer be used for different reasons or they are discarded items instrumental in contaminating during the handling of pharmaceuticals, such as boxes containing pharmaceutical residues, masks, connecting tubing, bottles, vials, gloves, etc. Numerous kinds of pharmaceuticals contaminate the environment at large and remediation of such hazardous substances from polluted water needs is a must and suitable need-based methods need to be developed and validated.
