Hospital Wastewater – Definition-Biomedical Waste

Hospital Wastewater

Hospital wastewater (HWW) is the wastewater discharged from all hospital activities, both medical and non-medical, including activities in surgery rooms, examination rooms, laboratories, nursery rooms, radiology rooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. – defined by Linked Journal

What is Hospital Wastewater

Referred to as either Hospital Wastewater (HWW) or Hospital Effluent, HWW is considered to have similar quality to municipal wastewater, but may also contain various potentially hazardous components which mainly include hazardous chemical compounds, heavy metals, disinfectants, and specific detergents resulting from diagnosis, laboratory, and research activities. Higher concentrations of pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) were found in hospital effluents than those found in municipal effluents. – reference journal
