Pathological waste includes human tissue and body parts, such as organs and tissues, and fluids that contain tissue that are removed during medical procedures like surgery, autopsy, or trauma. Teeth and products of conception are not included in this category, which is why the description fits pathological waste. This waste is distinct from infectious waste (which is contaminated with infectious agents), hazardous waste (which involves chemicals or other hazards), and non-regulated medical waste (which isn’t regulated as medical waste). So waste that consists of organs, tissues, body parts, and fluids containing tissue from medical procedures is classified as pathological waste.
