Concerns, Issues, Challenges in Liquid Biomedical Waste Management

Abstract

Hospital effluents are increasingly a concern globally due to improper distinctions between sewage from hospitals and urban areas. Untreated wastewater stances a significant threat to health of human and also to the environment, and improper disposal can lead to hazardous reuse. Hospital waste water treatment procedures eradicate contaminants and yield a liquid effluent appropriate for disposal and sludge formation. Advanced treatment methods like Advanced Oxidation Technology, filtration, and adsorption are essential for public health and the environment. Activated sludge processes and Membrane bioreactor are effective, with hybrid systems incorporating tertiary treatments like ozonation, Ultraviolet light treatment, etc.
