Question

Human tissues, organs or fluids, body parts and contaminated animal carcasses are ............ waste.

• A. Chemical
• B. Infectious
• C. Pathological
• D. Sharp

Hint:

Pathological = body parts and organs; handle carefully!

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Pathological waste encompasses tissues, organs, body parts, and animal carcasses, originating from surgeries, autopsies, and animal research. This category is distinct from chemical or sharp waste, which involves substances or items such as needles. Infectious waste comprises items contaminated with blood or bodily fluids, but it does not exclusively refer to tissues and organs. Consequently, the appropriate classification is Pathological.
