Hospital Wastewater Treatment: Global Scenario and Case Studies
The features of hospital wastewater (HWW) are identical to domestic wastewater in general, but a subset of HWW includes toxic, nonbiodegradable, infectious contaminants. The hospital effluents include a wide range of chemicals utilized in medical, laboratory, and study settings, as well as patient excreta. Antibiotics, lipid inhibitors, among other medications and their metabolites are among the wastes. This book will help in understanding through the case studies from around the globe how to deal with HWW effectively, as well as help Governments to modify laws relating to it.
