Practice questions
Q1Which technique is suitable for the disposal of biomedical waste?
Explanation
Incineration is suitable for many categories of biomedical waste because high-temperature burning destroys infectious material and reduces the waste volume. Disposal in water is unsafe because it can spread pathogens and toxic residues. Ordinary landfill is not appropriate for untreated infectious waste, as it may contaminate soil and groundwater. Recycling is possible only for selected disinfected materials; it is not the general disposal technique for hazardous biomedical waste. Therefore, incineration best matches the question.
