3. What is Bio Medical Waste?
 Bio-medical waste means any waste, which is
generated during the time of-
 Diagnosis
 Treatment
 Immunization
 Research activities
Such waste includes Blood, Body fluids, Tissues,
Organs, Body parts, Human fetuses etc.

7. 1. Infection:-
The infectious agents enter into the body through:-
 Puncture
 Cut in the skin
 Through mucous membranes
 By inhalation and ingestion.

8. 2. Genotoxicity and Cytotoxicity
 Cytotoxicity is the ability of chemicals to destruct the cells.
 Irritant to skin and eyes.
 Carcinogenic and Mutagenic .
3. Chemical Toxicity
May cause intoxi.cation, burns, poisoning on exposure.

9. 4.Radioactivity Hazards
 Radioactive waste exposure may cause
headache, dizziness, vomiting, genotoxicity and
tissue damage.
5. Physical injuries
 Sharps
