Survey of Bio Medical Waste with Special Reference to their Disposal and Management of Satna City.

Abstract - Biomedical waste poses significant environmental and public health risks due to its potential to spread infectious diseases and contaminate the environment. This paper presents a comprehensive survey and analysis of biomedical waste management practices in Satna City, aiming to identify existing challenges and propose effective strategies for disposal and management. Through a combination of field surveys, interviews with healthcare facility managers, and review of literature, the study assesses the generation, segregation, collection, treatment, and disposal of biomedical waste in Satna City. It examines the types and quantities of biomedical waste generated by healthcare facilities, including hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and research institutions. Furthermore, the study evaluates the compliance of healthcare facilities with biomedical waste management rules and regulations, highlighting areas of improvement. Special attention is given to the identification of barriers and challenges faced in the proper disposal and management of biomedical waste, such as inadequate infrastructure, lack of awareness, and insufficient training of healthcare personnel. Based on the findings, the paper proposes recommendations for enhancing biomedical waste management practices in Satna City, including the implementation of proper segregation techniques, provision of adequate training and resources, strengthening of regulatory enforcement, and promotion of sustainable waste treatment technologies. By addressing these issues, the paper aims to contribute to the development of effective strategies for the safe and environmentally sound management of biomedical waste in Satna City, ultimately protecting public health and the environment.
