Pushkar Bhamare | Sagar Gawande ^[3]

Abstract: The rapid development of urban and industrial areas in country like India at the economic growth is observed, but these developments at another corner try to degrade the surrounding environment which ultimately affects the human health. The health issues associated with the natural and manmade sources produces its bi-products as a biomedical waste. In India, The Ministry of Environment and Forest (MOEF) has notified Bio-medical waste management rules in 1998, according to rules they provide a guidelines for disposal of bio medical waste. They differentiate the waste into several categories and their disposal provisions. According to the guidelines they provide the rules for their collection methods from which the segregation of the waste has been done. Also gives the instruction for transportation and program for their storage and final disposal of the treated waste. The date we are trying to improve ourselves and trying to setup an effective management system but due to less exposure and awareness of the problem associated with biomedical waste proves it, Inssuffient and Failure. This system only limited to the urban area. It does not include the suburban, villages and remote areas. Because of this waste is getting mixed with municipal solid waste and spreading infection to the surrounding. So the paper aims to study a system which can potentially handle and dispose the all biomedical waste generated due to the all type of sources
