What is improper disposal?
Biohazardous material much be disposed of in such a manner as to sequester the hazardous material until it can be destroyed in a manner that renders it non-hazardous. Any other form of disposal (that leaves the material still infectuous) is improper. Sharps in particular present a special problem in that disinfection is critical, as with other biohazardous materials, but there's a mechanical danger as well, so simple burning will not complete the job. Disposal of sharps without rendering them harmless is also improper disposal. Radiologic waste requires a very specialized disposal protocol, overseen by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). It's beyond the scope of this answer to detail the NRC protocol.wala kui answer.. answer now!!!
