Color coding is an important part of biomedical waste management because it helps to ensure that different types of waste are segregated and disposed of properly. The color-coding system for biomedical waste in India is as follows: Yellow: Infectious waste. This waste is contaminated with pathogens that can cause disease. It includes human tissue, blood, body fluids, and sharps. Red: Contaminated sharps. This waste includes needles, scalpels, and other sharp objects that have been used in medical procedures. Blue: Chemical waste. This waste contains harmful chemicals, such as acids, bases, and solvents. Black: Radioactive waste. This waste contains radioactive materials. White: Non-hazardous waste. This waste is not infectious, chemical, or radioactive, but it can still be harmful to human health or the environment.
