Abstract

The present study was based on BMW from Health Care Units (HCUs) at Jaunpur city-India, during 2013 to 2015 year. Out of 48 HCUs, maximum BMW (37.2 Kg day-1) was generated by orthopedic-HCUs followed by surgical, gynecology and cardio; while total BMWs generation was about 98 Kg day-1 and mostly BMW were dumped in low line area. Results of physio-chemical, elemental and bacterial analysis of BMW-leachate were significantly influenced by seasonal variation. Concentration of metals were observed as Ca>Cu>N&
