Medical waste disposal refers to the proper management and disposal of waste generated from healthcare facilities, such as hospitals and clinics. This waste can include items like used syringes, bandages, and other materials that may be contaminated with pathogens. Proper disposal is crucial to prevent the spread of infections and protect public health. The process typically involves segregating medical waste from regular trash, using specialized containers, and following regulations set by local and national authorities. Methods of disposal may include incineration, autoclaving, or chemical treatment, ensuring that hazardous materials are safely neutralized before being discarded.
