L'Organisation mondiale de la santé estime que 15 % des déchets produits par les hôpitaux sont dangereux. Ce type de matériau peut être infectieux, radioactif ou toxique pour le milieu environnant et pour ceux qui entrent en contact avec lui. Le Bangladesh est un pays surpeuplé avec une superficie limitée et plus de 3 crore personnes vivent dans la capitale Dhaka city. L'augmentation rapide du nombre d'hôpitaux, de cliniques, de laboratoires de diagnostic, etc. dans la ville de Dhaka a un impact considérable sur la santé humaine et l'écologie. Plus de 600 cliniques et hôpitaux existent dans la ville de Dhaka. Ces installations génèrent environ 200 tonnes de déchets par jour. L'élimination sûre et la destruction ultérieure des déchets biomédicaux est une étape clé dans la réduction des maladies ou des blessures dues au contact avec ce matériel potentiellement dangereux, et dans la prévention de la contamination environnementale. Il existe quelques études dans différentes régions du Bangladesh sur la gestion des déchets biomédicaux, mais seules quelques unes ont fourni des informations sur les connaissances du personnel de santé. Cette étude était une tentative de rassembler les connaissances manquantes sur cette question spécifique.

In Bangladesh, wetlands were not considered valuable resource, and their complex ecological and hydrological functions were mostly unrecognized. Nevertheless, the situation has changed. Now a day it is an important issue of concern especially in planning as the value of wetlands are recognized and realized. In spite of having policies, the situation is going to be worsen from worse. Most of the wetlands of Dhaka city are now in worse condition. Reduction due to encroachment is a common phenomenon. Water Supply and Sewerage Authority identified 18 canals of Dhaka city which can be identified now hardly due to illegal occupancy. This work identifies some causes of wetland reduction and the causes behind the worse performance of policies. And at the end, some recommendations are suggested analyzing the past and present scenario to overcome these problems. This work was mainly a dissertation where the aim was to provide some direction that can be used for implementing the existing policy for the protection of water bodies & to make some new policies or guiding principles for protecting the water bodies of Dhaka city as it is one of the most important issues for the city¿s existence.

The World Health Organization estimates that 15 percent of the waste produced by hospitals is hazardous. This type of material can be infectious, radioactive or toxic to the surrounding environment and to those who come in contact with it. Bangladesh is a over populated country with a limited area and more than 3 crore people are living in the capital Dhaka city. The rapid increase of hospitals, clinics, diagnostic laboratories etc in Dhaka city exerts a tremendous impact on human health ecology. More than 600 clinics and hospitals exist in the Dhaka city. These facilities generate an estimated 200 tons of waste a day. The safe disposal and subsequent destruction of biomedical waste is a key step in the reduction of illness or injury through contact with this potentially hazardous material, and in the prevention of environmental contamination. There are some studies in different parts of Bangladesh on bio-medical waste management, but only few provided information regarding knowledge among the health care personnel. This study was an attempt to gather some gap on knowledge on this specific issue.
