Which of these biomedical wastes are to be disposed in yellow colour coded container as per the Biomedical Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 2016 ?
Answer: A
The yellow container takes human anatomical, animal, microbiology and biotechnology wastes.
The Bio-Medical Waste Management Rules, 2016 sort waste into four colour categories. Yellow is for waste that is incinerated or otherwise destroyed: human anatomical waste, animal anatomical waste, soiled waste, expired medicines, chemical waste, and microbiology, biotechnology and other clinical laboratory waste.
Waste sharps such as needles and blades go in a white translucent puncture-proof container. Glassware goes in a blue container. Chemical liquid waste is listed in the yellow category but is drained through a separate collection system to an effluent treatment plant, not put in a yellow container, so liquid waste is not the answer.
