Question

Disposal of pharmaceutical wastes can be done ............ .

• A. By Autoclaving
• B. By Drainage
• C. By Landfilling
• D. In the same way as general waste

Hint:

Expired medicines? Always dispose of them safely — landfilling is the right method.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Pharmaceutical waste encompasses expired, unused, and contaminated medications.
While autoclaving sterilizes infectious waste, it is inappropriate for pharmaceuticals.
Draining pharmaceuticals can contaminate water and is an unsafe disposal method.
These waste types are managed in secure landfills to mitigate contamination.
Due to health and environmental risks, they must be segregated from general waste.
Consequently, the appropriate disposal method is Landfilling.
