“…The quantum of BMW can also be linked to the excessive use of disposable items mandated since the AIDS outbreak ( Pandey et al., 2016 ; Rudraswamy et al., 2013 ). Studies have reported that one of the major sources of infection is through accidental contact of disposed infectious items by staff and patrons at the point of generation.…”

Highlights Changes in the composition of waste generated during COVID-19 presents considerable new challenges. Ensuring safe waste management practices should be a part of emergency response services during COVID-19 crisis. Temporary relaxation on use of single-use plastic during COVID-19 crises could impact consumer's behavior. Shift to automated waste treatment systems will reduce the risk of transmission. Building localized robust supply chains could help fight possible future pandemics.

Background: Biomedical waste is any waste generated during the diagnosis, treatment or immunization of human beings or animals. The quantity of solid waste generated in Bangalore hospitals is from ½ to 4 kg per bed per day. But segregation is done in only 30%. Health care workers have an important responsibility to segregate the biomedical waste and dispose them. Hence this study was undertaken with the objective of assessing the impact of intervention on Biomedical waste segregation knowledge among junior doctors. Methods: The study design employed is a quasi experimental study with control and intervention design. The junior doctors were selected randomly. After written informed consent the participants were divided as two group of intervention and control group with 74 in each group. Data of pre-test was collected using self-administered and validated questionnaire. After a week of pre-test, training using WHO modules 3 on training of biomedical waste segregation based on IHWM was done only for the intervention group. After a period of 3 months post test was conducted for both the intervention and the control group using a pre tested self-administered questionnaire with questions very similar to the pre-test.Results: The difference is found to be with t-test value of 1.434 and df of 37 with significant value 0.160 (>0.05) for the control group. The difference is found to be with t-test value of 3.241 and df of 35 with significant value 0.003 (<0.05) for the intervention group.Conclusions: The knowledge of biomedical waste management was found to increase after an intervention.

A multiplicidade e complexidade dos potenciais impactos ambientais dos resíduos hospitalares convergem para uma discussão a nível mundial. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo teve por objetivo identificar os impactos ambientais causados pelos resíduos hospitalares, por meio de uma revisão atual da literatura em periódicos científicos, nacionais e internacionais, em quatro bases de dados com as palavras-chave predeterminadas. Vários impactos ambientais puderam ser identificados, os quais podem comprometem a saúde, a segurança e o bem-estar da população, as atividades sociais e econômicas, a biota, as condições estéticas e sanitárias do meio ambiente e a qualidade dos recursos ambientais. Conclui-se que as águas residuárias hospitalares estão atualmente em evidência, sendo amplamente discutidos devido a presença de resíduos químicos, fármacos e de microrganismos patógenos resistentes.
