Pathological wastes are hazardous because they can contain infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens that can pose health risks if not properly managed and disposed of.

Special precautions are needed to ensure the safe handling, collection, and disposal of these wastes to protect both human health and the environment.

Hazardous wastes are materials that are to be discarded (i.e. are wastes) but can be a danger to people or to the environment and meet the definition based on the identity of the material or on test results.
