Abstract:

Biomedical waste management in rural areas presents significant challenges due to the high costs of transportation and the lack of on-site treatment facilities. To address these issues, a low-cost incinerator specifically designed for biomedical waste management and disposal in rural settings has been developed. This incinerator is engineered to minimize air pollution, employing a series of advanced filter media that convert airborne pollutants into water. Water samples derived from the most effective filter media were analyzed which revealed a substantial reduction in heavy metal content. These findings contribute valuable insights to the field of environmental engineering, particularly in the sustainable management of biomedical waste in underserved regions.
