Microbial Aided Bioremediation and Sources of Biomedical Waste

image of Microbial Aided Bioremediation and Sources of Biomedical Waste

The increasing population and altered lifestyle have led to the increase of diseases and, correspondingly, the number of hospitals and medical facilities. This rise has led to increased generation of waste of biomedical origin generated from hospitals. Biomedical waste is hazardous, and if left untreated, it can cause serious health hazards. Physical and chemical methods are traditionally employed for the treatment of biomedical waste, which do not eliminate the toxicants and release hazardous gases. Thus, these processes are not environment-friendly. This chapter detailed the use of microbial-aided remediation techniques for the removal of biomedical wastes. The recent development during the last decades in the eco-friendly treatment of biomedical waste suggests that extensive studies are needed to address this issue which is becoming a global concern.
