Abstract
Abstract The aim of this review article is planning to collect, transport, processing and dispose of hazardous and non-hazardous biomedical waste, with a special concern on the biomedical waste tracking system in India. This review article sheds insight on some of the tracking systems of COVID-19 waste over the barcode, IoT, and GPS-based trash monitoring, related to COVID-19 waste management. Better waste management may reduce the amount of time that garbage is exposed to the environment and the risk of transportation. COVID-19 waste treatment facility might assist to reduce the risk of coronavirus transmission, as well as the hazardous component risk respectively.
期刊介绍:
The Environmental Claims Journal is a quarterly journal that focuses on the many types of claims and liabilities that result from environmental exposures. The ECJ considers environmental claims under older business insurance policies, coverage and claims under more recent environmental insurance policies, as well as toxic tort claims. Exposures and claims from all environmental media are considered: air, drinking water, groundwater, soil, chemicals in commerce and naturally occurring chemicals. The journal also considers the laws, regulations, and case law that form the basis for claims. The journal would be of interest to environmental and insurance attorneys, insurance professionals, claims professionals, and environmental consultants.
