摘要：Biomedical waste management in Jodhpur city was studied during August 2011 to January 2012. In Jodhpurcity there are about 162 Govt. and private hospitals, labs and clinics. They generate an average of 600-650kg/day of hazardous biomedical waste. The biomedical waste is dumped with municipal solid waste, whichcan be harmful for the environment. Biomedical waste is a serious problem to be solved as early as possibleand this study will give a database of average per day biomedical waste generation with yellow bags 325-350kg/day, red bags 5-10 kg/day, blue bags 30-35kg/day and black bags 225-250 kg/day. The total number ofbeds connected to common biomedical treatment facility centre is 4886.
