Abstract

This review involved effect of health waste in hospitals on environment, Non-hazardous waste is generally 85% of the total amount of waste from healthcare activities. The remaining 15% are hazardous materials that can transmit infection or be toxic or radioactive. An estimated 16 billion syringes are given each year worldwide, but not all syringes and needles are disposed of properly after their use. Healthcare waste is sometimes burned, and this incineration may produce emissions in the form of dioxins, furans, and other toxic air pollutants. There is no doubt that the problem of environmental pollution is closely related to the means of development. Environmental pollution is one of its biggest complications despite the maximum benefit that is achieved for everyone from technological development, and what is meant by environmental pollution in general is that change that may occur in the natural, chemical and biological characteristics of the environment in which a person lives, which causes very harmful effects on human health.
