Biohazardjätteenä

Biohazardjätteenä refers to waste containing potentially biologically active or infectious substances, commonly found in medical, research, and laboratory settings. Such waste includes medical items like surgical tools, blood samples, and laboratory materials such as cultures or animal experiment residues. Special handling is required to prevent pathogen transmission, typically involving high-temperature sterilization, chemical disinfection, secure incineration, or deep burial. Proper management safeguards public health and the environment by minimizing disease spread. Regulatory frameworks, such as Finland's environmental protection laws, govern its disposal to ensure compliance.
