The Importance of Proper Biomedical Waste Disposal In the U.S., the total amount of biomedical wastes generated by one person in a single year is approximately 13 lb! In the absence of a proper biomedical waste disposal system, these hazardous materials can prove to be harmful not only for humans but also for the society at large. It has the potential to spread diseases, affect wildlife, impact the water supply, and much more. That is the reason it is imperative to implement an improved biomedical waste disposal method, which can help in creating a safer and healthier workplace. Here are the reasons why every medical practitioner needs to dispose of their biomedical waste properly: Medical Wastes Are Highly Dangerous Medical wastes include many infectious materials like blood, bodily fluids, bandages, disposable equipment, human tissue, needles, syringes, broken glass and blades, solvents and disinfectants, and other wastes that are generated in the medical setting. These things are highly dangerous as well as infectious and can cause contamination upon coming in contact with humans. That is why they should be discarded in the right method. Risky for the Staff Who Handles Them Even before the medical wastes are disposed of, the staff handling these materials can be harmed by them. Proper care should be taken in disposing of sharps or infectious materials as they can cause harm to those who are picking them up and transporting them. That is also the reason why these things are not discarded into the standard waste receptacles, where they can be mistaken as general waste and can be mishandled. Risky for the Community as a Whole Lack of effective disposal of biomedical wastes can pose a great risk to the community as a whole. Biomedical wastes that are transported traditionally end up in landfills. It not only exposes everyone in that area to an immediate risk but also releases harmful substances into the air, water, and land. Also, many of these substances take years to break down, during which more waste is added. It increases the potency of the contamination manifold.
