The main sources are hospitals, clinics, laboratories, blood banks and morgues, in the other hand secondary sources are pharmacies, dental clinics and doctors' offices. Generally, they are sacked through the collection of health-care facilities and transported to the processing facilities. The further effect in the case of we did not get rid of them correctly is consequences cannot be estimated as it has a direct environmental impact by contaminating the soil and groundwater.
