Abstract

The handling of genetic residues, biohazardous waste, and other non-shrinkable materials such as e-waste is essential for the preservation of Mother Nature and human wellbeing. This chapter will bring forth different methods of managing biomedical wastes, inspecting the roots of the spread of the hazardous virus, and protecting the front-line warriors. To properly react to this disaster, each administration must create a backup strategy based on regional circumstances and the seriousness of the coronavirus's spread. Technology is being used to reduce the need for in-person medical appointments and save on the cost of treatment, which is a boon for human civilization in the context of the pandemic. The Central Pollution Control Board's existing rules provide a framework for managing healthcare waste with respect for the safety of the public. Bio-waste management strategies using IoT and IoMT techniques are illustrated in this chapter.

Biomedical Waste Management

A crystal-clear scenario is, with the growth of civilization, a larger population now has access to health care than ever before. Increased accessibility to healthcare facilities has not only enhanced the population's quality of life, but it has also put the community's health at risk due to the massive volume of biological waste produced. Because biomedical waste has both environmental and health dangers, it should be handled with care and properly disposed of. The regulation of biological waste is known as biomedical waste management. Multiple biological waste management failures have occurred in India, and the continuing covid-19 outbreak has made matters much more difficult. As an outcome, the governments and management have noticed an increase in biological waste as a result of the sudden development of a virus. Furthermore, the issue was compounded by weak infrastructure and a paucity of supplies. Management and the government have created a variety of SOPs as well as altered prevalent points to properly address this issue.
