- CPCB is executing a project on Strengthening Hospital Waste Management
Programme, with the financial assistance from the World Health Organisation.
- Based
on information available with CPCB, a list of some defaulter hospitals in the
country was prepared and the respective SPCBs/PCCs were asked to take necessary
action.
- The status of Common Waste Treatment Facility for bio-medical
waste and implementation of the bio-medical waste Rules in the country has been
prepared.

country, CPCB advised all SPCBs/PCCs to restrict the installation of incinerators
by the individual healthcare facilities and to encourage installation of incinerators
at common treatment facility equipped with adequate pollution control device.
- To
check the performance of incinerators, CPCB carried out stack emission monitoring
of incinerators installed at Batra Hospital, St. Stephen's Hospital, Moolchand
Hospital and Dr. R.M.L. Hospital in Delhi.
- CPCB received three technologies
for consideration and approval. Out of three technologies, LOGMED technology is
