·        To compute the impacts that are likely to arise due to the proposed developmental activity.

SUMMARY

Healthcare facilities in and around Thiruvallur District has increased gradually in recent years. It is practically and economically not viable for every healthcare unit to have its own facilities for safe handling of biomedical waste. Hence, a demand has raised for a Common Bio-medical Waste Management Facility to handle the biomedical waste generated from the healthcare establishments in environmentally safe manner. Considering the need, M/s. Environ Bio-waste Systems India Pvt. Ltd. came forward to establish a Common Bio-Medical Waste Management and Treatment Facility at Meyyur Village, Thiruvallur District, Tamil Nadu. This facility would cater biomedical waste management services to predominantly Thiruvallur District and also covers the areas of Kancheepuram & Chennai Districts.
