Methods Used to Dispose and Manage Medical Waste<br>Medical waste needs to be managed and disposed in the right manner to avoid,<br>• A breakout of diseases and <br>• Pollution of land, air and water resources.<br><br>The Methods that are used to treat medical waste before it is disposed are<br>• Incineration<br>• Autoclaves<br>• Mechanical and Chemical Disinfection<br>• Microwave Radiation<br>• Irradiation<br>• Vitrification<br><br>Incineration:<br>Incineration is the controlled burning of medical waste in an incinerator. <br>This process reduces the volume of waste, and sterilizes the wastes.<br>Incinerated waste could be dumped in a landfill. <br>The disadvantage of this process is the pollution that might arise from emissions that are generated during incineration. <br>Autoclaves:<br>An autoclave is a chamber where medical instruments are sterilized by applying heat, pressure or steam on them. <br>The same is done to medical waste to kill microorganisms before they are disposed. <br>Mechanical and Chemical Disinfection:<br>Mechanical equipment such as crushers and milling machines are used to reduce the volume of waste. <br> Medical waste is then disinfected with the use of chlorine compounds to kill microorganisms. <br>Irradiation:<br>This is the process of exposing hospital waste to gamma rays that destroys bacteria and any living cells. <br>Vitrification:<br>Solid waste is mixed when glass is being produced. <br>The high temperatures that are used in the manufacture of glass burns certain waste materials and the remaining waste is concealed in glass, making it safe for disposal at a landfill. <br>Visit yellowpages-uae.com to contact Medical Waste Management in UAE i.e. at https://www.yellowpages-uae.com/uae/waste-management
