"This new volume provides an abundance of updated information on the management of biomedical waste, presenting an overview of the problem of such wastes as well as effective management, the consequences of mismanagement of biomedical waste, and future remediation methods. It presents a selection of chemical, biochemical, microbiological, and biotechnological approaches for effective biowaste management. The book provides an introduction to the various types and sources of biomedical waste, including characterization, color-coding, segregation, transportation, and disposal methods, and also outlines the associated risks of biomedical wastes, describing the dangers of improperly disposed of medical waste on the health of humans and animals as well as to the environment. The book examines a plethora of novel and effective strategies for the safe management of waste, such as methods for the detoxification and biodegradation of pharmaceutical compounds, chemicals, and unused drugs; disposal methods of biomedical e-waste; the use of nanotechnology for the degradation of pharmaceutical chemicals from aquatic systems; transportation issues in the management of biomedical waste; and more. Chapters look at the use of common microorganisms, such as cow dung and earthworms, for pharmaceutical biodegradation and the management e-waste from the point of view of materials engineering. Presenting a comprehensive collection of recent and current research on biomedical waste management, this volume, Biomedical Waste Management: Recycling and Remediation Strategies, will be of value and interest to researchers, scientists, industry professionals, faculty and students, and policymakers concerned with this important challenge"--
