Abstract

The methods of waste disposal in accordance with the guidelines are explained in a simple language that makes it easy to understand. A number of photographs and line diagrams are included to make the subject more comprehensive. Various tables further add value to the subject matter as these give the required information in brief. The chapters on Immunization of Healthcare Workers and Infection Control Practices in Waste Management address these somewhat neglected issues. A chapter on Dental Office Wastes is also included to help the dentists to practice dentistry in an environment friendly way. The book is intended to help various healthcare professionals, (i.e. doctors, dentists, nurses and other paramedical staff), waste handlers and carriers as well as general public.
