Due to increase the population the amount of biomedical waste generation also increased it requires attention. Within the domain of municipal solid waste, biomedical waste acquires a special dimension, since it is infectious and hazardous. It is capable of spreading disease or be harmful to individuals. The amount of infectious waste is around 25% and non- infectious wastes constitutes nearly 75%. In the absence of proper segregation, the non-infectious waste becomes infectious and poses environmental threat to the society.
An inappropriate treatment and disposal can spread infectious diseases like tuberculosis, hepatitis, enteric fever, HIV infection, or even AIDS.
