• Wards : Wards produce more infectious waste. Hospital Waste contaminated with blood or other bodily fluids (eg, from discarded diagnostic samples), cultures, and or infected patient waste (eg, swabs, bandages, and disposable items).
• Pharmacy : Hospital pharmacy waste can arise from partially used or unused dosage forms, patient medications, obsolete medications, etc. Also, expired medicines can accumulate, albeit slowly, in hospital pharmacies and drugstores through improper donations and poor inventory management and distribution.
• Modality : This type of waste includes human anatomical waste such as bleeding parts, fluids, blood, experimental animals, tissues, organs, body parts used in research, needles, syringes, blades, and various modalities. Due to improper disposal by the hospital of the meth used. A doctor’s hospital is done. The handling and preparation of corpses for memorial service and burial generates many strong chemicals and biomedical wastes. Most funeral home employees touch the bodies of the deceased on a daily basis. Morgue workers take precautions to avoid contact with hazardous materials such as gloves. Improper handling of cadaver waste is a significant risk factor for disease transmission.
• Blood Banks : Blood Bank generates both non-hazardous and hazardous type of waste, the later is potentially infectious like Blood Sample Tubes, Discarded Plated, Needles, Syringes, Gloves, Sample Vials. The waste need to segregated within Blood Bank before it is picked by hospitals.
