dijlahpoint - Environmental and regulatory bodies have warned against the dumping of expired medicines, sanitizers, and dialysis materials directly into sewage networks, threatening to contaminate rivers with toxins. Regulatory reports revealed violations in the procedures of private sector medical waste disposal committees, where medical waste is crushed by heavy machinery and mixed with regular trash in landfills instead of using designated shredding and sterilization equipment, due to the lack of proper incinerators. The reports stressed that these practices violate environmental laws and pose a direct threat to water resources and public health.
