Answer:In most of the medical procedures incinerators are used to burn the medical wastes. These equipment use high temperatures as like that of furnaces(furnace incinerators) to burn the medical waste.

At such temperature there is no emission of gases in the environment and the heat generated from the equipment is used in some other processes.

Example of wastes that is burned in incinerators are body fluids, cells, syringes, expired medicines, body waste, chemicals, et cetera.

Hazardous waste it the most widely recognized general well-being risk it can contaminate of our drinking water supplies. This should be tidied up as soon as possible up to the strictest conceivable level and over the long haul, chemicals should be eliminated for more secure other options to avert future unsafe waste locales.
