Overview

A host of activities in the healthcare industry generates substantive hospital waste. However, its unsound disposal is a grave concern and poses an alarming threat to the environment and health of humanity due to not only the generation of magnanimous amounts of waste but also the non-biodegradability of byproducts formed. The improper disposal of unused medicines and hospital waste is responsible for ecological degradation and growing concern at both local and global levels. Hospital Waste Management and Toxicity Evaluation explores the best practices in hospital waste management, focusing on sustainable solutions for waste collection, segregation, storage, and disposal. It emphasized practical strategies for reducing the impact of pharmaceutical and medical waste, aiming to promote sustainable and safe waste management in healthcare settings. Covering topics such as antibiotic-resistant isolates, machine learning (ML) and radioactive waste management, this book is an excellent resource for academicians, researchers, students, medical professionals, practitioners, pharmacists, clinicians, and more.
