Why is proper management of medical waste important?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To prevent infection and environmental harm

Medical or biomedical waste may include used needles, blood-contaminated materials, laboratory items, medicines, and other potentially infectious substances. If it is mixed with ordinary waste or handled carelessly, it can cause needle-stick injuries, spread infection, expose workers to chemicals, and pollute soil or water. Option A is correct because segregation, safe collection, treatment, and authorised disposal protect people and the environment. Medical waste should not be spread in open areas or mixed with food waste. It is also not automatically suitable for household reuse. Specific procedures depend on the type of waste and applicable health regulations, so trained handlers and approved systems are essential.
