According to a new analysis from the Centre for Science and Environment, hospitals alone in India created almost 2 lakh kilos of biological waste per day last month. In May, the amount of biological waste created each day was 46% more than in April. Cultures, infectious agent stocks, linked biologicals, human blood and blood products, contaminated sharps, severed body parts, and isolated trash are all examples of this.
