Biomedical Waste (Management and Handling) Rules (BMW Rules) were promulgated under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. In recent years, hospital waste has become a growing issue of concern, with the increasing evidence suggesting health hazards related to health care waste, inflicted upon the healthcare workers, patients and the community as a whole. Healthcare waste is both an environmental and public safety issue, due to the waste’s infectious and hazardous character; particularly in devel- oping countries where its management is sad- dled with technological, economic difficulties and inadequate skilled manpower. Studies over the years have shown that inadequate waste management can cause growth, multiplication and transmission of vector-borne diseases and other injuries. In addition to health risks asso- ciated with poor management of medical waste, focus must also be given to the impact on the environment, especially to the risks of pollution of water, air and soil. Background 1 Of the total amount of waste generated by health-care activities, about 85% is general, non- hazardous waste. The remaining 15% is considered hazardous material that may be infectious, toxic or radioactive. This waste consists of the materials which have been in contact with the patient’s blood, secretions, infected parts, biological liquids such as chemicals, medical supplies, medicines, lab discharge, sharps metallic and glassware, plastics etc. The complexity of infectious healthcare waste problems and the recent rise in the transmittable diseases open up a greater risk of contamination through mishandling and unsafe disposal practices. In India, Bio-Medical waste (term defined to denote the hazardous faction) is to be managed as per BMWM Rules, 2016. According to the last published report (20171) of Central Pollution Control Board Healthcare (CPCB), there are 2, 38,259 of Healthcare Facilities in India, out of Facilities in India which 87,281 are bedded and 1, 5 1,302 are non-bedded. As per BMWM 2,38,259 Rules, 2016, both bedded and non-bedded Healthcare Facilities are required to obtain authorization, irrespective of quantity of biomedical waste generation. Out of 2,38,259 of HCFs, 97,099 (40%) HCFs have Bedded Non-bedded applied for authorization and 84,805 (35%) HCFs have been granted 87,281 1, 5 1,302 authorization under BMWM Rules, 2016. The total generation of bio-medical waste in India is about 559 tonnes per day, out of which 518 tonnes are treated in 198 CBWTFs Uttar Pradesh in operation (24 under construction) and 7.81 9,841 HCFs having captive treatment and Delhi 4.4% Bihar disposal facility. States/UTs like Bihar (6 6% %), Delhi (4.4 %), Gujarat (5.21 %), Karnataka Rajasthan (12 %), Kerala (7.35 %), Maharashtra (11.10 4.03% %), Rajasthan (4.03 %), Tamil Nadu (8.39 Gujarat BMW GENERATION %), Uttar Pradesh (7.81 %) & West Bengal 5.21% (5.34 %) are the major biomedical waste Maharashtra West Bengal generating States/UTs. 11.10% 5.34% In spite of a legal framework in existence Karnataka for more than 20 years, the ground reality 12% on bio medical waste management is far Kerala Tamil Nadu from ideal. Lack of proper segregation at 7.35% 8.39% healthcare facilities, inadequate collection & treatment is still common in most parts of the country. The health-care waste management requires increased attention and diligence to avoid adverse health outcomes associated According to World Health with poor practice, including exposure to infectious Organization, hospital- agents and toxic substances. Therefore there is a need associated infections (HAI) affect to understand the ground reality and assess the gaps. approximately 5% of hospitalized As stated above, Delhi is one of the leading bio medical patients. waste generating states/UTs in India. It is also the center of informal and illegal waste recycling practices. Hence, it is important to understand if the healthcare waste is being managed in a sound manner here. Current assessment of bio-medical waste management in Delhi is an attempt to check the realities and bring in a countrywide sound and sustainable bio-medical waste management system. 1 https://cpcb.nic.in/status-of-bmw-management/ Spreading Infections? 2 Healthcare facilities in delhi 1.1. BIO MEDICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT RULES, INDIA Bio Medical Waste Rules were notified in 1998. It regulated the disposal of biomedical wastes and laid down the procedures for collection treatment and disposal and standards to be complied with. These rules applied to everyone, who generates, collects, receives, stores, transports, and treats or handles biomedical wastes in any form. Bio medical waste was defined as any waste, which is generated during the diagnosis, treatment or immunization of human beings or animals or in research activities etc. According to Bio-Medical Waste (Management and Handling) Rule – 1998, all the bio-medical waste needs to be treated and disposed according to the rule with the help of requisite bio-medical waste treatment facilities like incinerator, autoclave, microwave system for the treatment of waste, or, ensure requisite treatment of waste at a common bio medical waste treatment facility.
